2003–2005 Ford Cvpi recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain police vehicles equipped with steel wheels, some of the wheels may develop cracks in the rim near the weld line that connects the rim to the disk.
💥 The risk
The cracks CAN ultimately result in rapid air loss from the tire and could affect vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the four road wheels and spare wheel based on the wheel part number. The recall began on march 15, 2007. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-343-5338.
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.)
