What is wrong

Vehicle description: all wheel drive passenger minivans. (this includes all 1992 AWD aerostars not previously included in safety recall 97v-204/97s83). These vehicles can develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing displacement. The powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or transfer case. Fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive can result.

The risk

This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.

The fix

Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed.
