Ford PK & PJ Ranger – recall
REC-000329 · campaign S1006 · published 2010-09-07 · 30465 units · more Ford
The defect
There is the possibility that after extended periods of driving in severe road conditions, the bonnet striker may develop a fatigue fracture.
The hazard
Whilst a secondary safety hook will retain the bonnet in the event of a striker failure, continued use in severe road conditions may cause the secondary safety hook to fail which may result in the bonnet opening while driving, hindering the visibility of the driver.
What owners should do
Ford will write to owners of all affected vehicles at their last known address. For further information, contact any authorised Ford Dealer or Ford's Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 503 672
