This is the same link as before. Only one model year of
Exeditions is coverd (so far). "The recalled vehicles
include model year 2000 Ford F-150s, Ford Expeditions and
Lincoln Navigators. Also affected are 2001 F-Series Super
crew trucks made at the same time." This is not change.
There is an "investigation" of other models and years, but
it is still only an investigation.
