Summary:
      ON CERTAIN EXTENDED CAB, 5 PASSENGER SPORT TRUCKS FITTED WITH A BRAKE UPGRADE, THE WHEEL BEARING C-CLIP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE WHEEL HUB CAN BECOME LOOSE IN THE SPINDLE AND WILL FORCE THE ROTOR TO CONTACT THE BRAKE PAD.
Consequence:
      THE BRACKET HOLDING ON THE BRAKE CALIPER COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL, RESULTING IN THE ROTATING ASSEMBLY "WHEEL, TIRE, HUB AND ROTOR" TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy:
      THERE WILL BE TWO REPAIR OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO DEALERS AND CUSTOMERS: "1" SALEEN WILL SUPPLY A PAIR OF NEW REPLACEMENT FRONT WHEEL HUBS WITH BEARING ASSEMBLIES, INCLUDING HARDWARE, COMPLETE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THE REPLACEMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED BY AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERS; OR, "2" SALEEN WILL SEND A TECHNICIAN OUT TO A DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES ON THE LOT AT THAT TIME. THE TECHNICIAN WILL INSPECT BOTH HUBS AND PERFORM ONE OF THREE REMEDIES: "A" INSPECT AND VERIFY THE C-CLIPS ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY; "B" REWORK THE HUBS TO MEET THE REVISED TOLERANCE; OR "C" AFTER INSPECTING HUBS AND DETERMINING THEY CANNOT BE REWORKED, REPLACE THE HUBS WITH NEW HUBS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 2, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SALEEN AT 1-949-597-3827.
