NHTSA Recall History
1998 Ranger 4-wheel drive w/off-road option:
Tire and rim identification information is incorrect.
1998 Ranger w/4.0-liter engine:
Flexible section of chassis-mounted fuel line on some trucks could contact exhaust manifold; might potentially result in damage to fuel line or, in some cases, cause a fuel leak.
1998-02 Ranger w/speed control system:
The speed control deactivation switch may, under certain conditions, leak internally and then overheat, smoke, or burn. This could result in an underhood fire. Dealers will install a fused wiring harness.

Cruise-control cable can interfere with servo pulley and not allow throttle to return to idle.

O-ring seal in fuel-injection pulse damper to fuel-rail joint could be damaged, allowing fuel leakage.
2000 Ranger w/2.5-liter engine:

2000-01 Ranger:
Hood striker could fracture causing the hood to fly open while the vehicle is being driven.
2001 Ranger:
Driver's and/or front-passenger's outboard seatbelt buckle may not fully latch. In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide adequate occupant protection.
2002 Ranger w/manual transmission and FX4 Package:
The rear-axle differential case could fracture, possibly resulting in wheel lock-up.
2004 Ranger:
Center rail section flange on frame may not have been formed properly; in side-impact crash, frame rail could puncture the fuel tank, resulting in leakage.
