Reload this Page Recall notice on Explorers anyone else get one too

Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Yep, its true. You just need to take it into the ford dealership, and they will swap it out. I never got the recall notice about it, and I have the faulty harness. When I took it in, they insisted it was fine, even though I know it's not. I'm not going to bother with it now, since it is always parked outside, and it will be being replaced with a new explorer in a month or so. I'm thinking a 98 or 99, but I can't decide if I want another sport, or a 4 door. I want a manual, but I want the V8 also...decisions, decisions...sorry for getting off topic, but yeah, just bring it down to the ford dealership and get that taken care of ASAP.

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.

The only problem is the manual was only offered witht the OHV if im correct, and the 5.0 is a gas hog.. if you get a 98-99ish OHC make sure you get a computer tune ASAP!!!
