FUEL LINE LEAK CAUSED GASOLINE TO SPILL ONTO THE PAVEMENT; A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. DEFECT WAS COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL, BUT I HAD PREVIOUSLY TAKEN VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION AND GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. HOW CAN A PART COVERED UNDER A RECALL FAIL AFTER I TOOK IT IN?

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY FORD F150 TRUCK HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WITH A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER, WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. A FEW YEARS AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYCLINDER, INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING, STARTED LEAKING FLUID, JUST AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS 3-YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT. SOMETIMES THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER LOSES ALL THE FLUID OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (SEVERAL MONTHS), AND SOMETIMES IT LOSES ALL OF THE FLUID IN A FEW DAYS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, AND I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT WORK. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT RESULT.

SPARE TIRE FELL OFF FROM UNDER PICKUP BED, DAMAGING TRAILER BEING TOWED. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THE TIRE FELL OFF. I CALLED FORD AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS 'NOT A SAFETY ISSUE'. CAN THIS BE TRUE, GIVEN THAT A 60LB TIRE AND RIM ARE ALLOWED TO JUST FALL OFF A VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS? THANK YOU. GT

PER FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS OWNING A 1994 F150, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO WARRENT A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF SAFETY ISSUE?
