Ford Recalls Explorer & Mountaineer Vehicles for Fire Danger

Do you own one of these potential lemon Ford Explorer or Ford Mountaineer vehicles?

• 2008 Explorer
• 2008 Explorer Sport Track
• 2008 Mercury Mountaineer SUVs

The affected vehicles are equipped with the Ford 4.6 liter engine and the Ford 6R transmissions and apparently about 1,500 of them were built.

A bolt securing the oil cooler line fittings at the transmission may not have been tightened sufficiently at the Ford Louisville assembly plant between July 23 and August 14, 2007, according to federal safety investigators.

If the bolt loosens, then the transmission lines can fall off the transmission and fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter and a fire can erupt.
