1997 Ford Expedition Recall

THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S 115 - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THE FOURTH CHARACTERS OF THE V.I.N. PLATE WHICH IS AFFIXED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE CODED "F" RATHER THAN "E". "E" IS THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THESE 7000 POUND GVWR VEHICLES. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE NINTH CHARACTER (CHECK DIGIT) OF THE V.I.N. IS ALSO INCORRECT. ONLY THE V.I.N. PLATE IS IN ERROR. THE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABELS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ON WHICH THE VEHICLE'S V.I.N. IS LISTED DISPLAY THE CORRECT V.I.N. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECT V.I.N. PLATES.
