2006 Ford Expedition & 2006 Lincoln Navigator recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles, the front and rear tires on the driver's side of affected vehicles may have been damaged at the center tread during production.
💥 The risk
Over time, the damage may be sufficient to allow belt corrosion ultimately leading to a tread separation, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect all four tires (to ensure inspection of the left hand side tires that may have been rotated to the other side of the vehicle) for tire tread damage and, if necessary, replace the damaged tire. The recall began on july 13, 2005. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
