Details

Certain Explorer Sport, Explorer Sport Trac, Rander Edge and Ranger XLT vehicles may have a wire formed hood striker that may be susceptible to fatigue fractures.

If the hood striker fractures, the hood may fly open while the vehicle is being driven.

A hood fly-up while the vehicle is being operated may result in resuced driver visibility and, potentially, a vehicle crash.

Correction: Hood striker will be replaced with a revised hood striker.
