NHTSA Complaint #10410453 — 2002 FORD WINDSTAR

1. NONE SPECIFIC. THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED THAT REPLACES SOME WIRING IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE FIRE. 2. THE FAILURE IS A YELLOW ABS BRAKE LIGHT AND RED BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER COMING ON TOGETHER FAIRLY OFTEN BUT NOT ALWAYS. I UNDERSTAND THESE LIGHTS, SPECIFICALLY THE ABS LIGHT, MEANS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT IN OPERATION MEANING PROBABLE LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES. I SUSPECT AS OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED THESE LIGHTS ARE CAUSED BY A HEAT BUILDUP PROBLEM IN THE ABS MODULE THAT CAUSES THE MODULE TO WARP AND FAIL. 3. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING. *KB
