NHTSA Recall History
2006:
Windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease applied to output shaft gear; after continuous use at high speed, gear could distort or fracture, resulting in loss of wiper function.
2007:
Two bolts that attach steering gear assembly to frame may have been over tightened; could result in bolt fracture, causing steering gear to loosen.
2008 Explorer with 4.6-liter V8 engine and 6R transmission:
A loose bolt may cause the transmission oil cooler line to leak. If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it increases risk of fire. Dealers will inspect and have the transmission cooler line attachment bolt tightened.
