FG II Ford Falcon utility vehicle safety issue
Owners of Ford Falcon FGII utility vehicles are advised that issues with the vehicle’s rear axle housing mean that the weld may crack and cause an oil leak. This has the potential to partially or fully separate the wheel assembly from the axle assembly and is likely to result in rear suspension noise and, in some cases, loss of steering control, a reduction or loss of brake performance and loss of motor power.
Ford will write to affected vehicles but recommends driving with caution and at a moderate speed until the safety recall service is complete.
The vehicles were sold nationally through authorised Ford dealers. Owners of affected vehicles are advised to contact their authorised Ford dealership for an inspection and rectification.
