Consumer Description

RADIO DISPLAY WENT OUT INVESTIGATIONS ON WEB HAVE PROVEN THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM ON 98-00 EXPLORERS. A CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE RADIO OVERHEATS CAUSING IT TO MELT THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD IN THE RADIO. WHO KNOWS THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AT THE WORST, AND CAUSE THE LOSS OF ALL RADIO DISPLAY AT THE MINIMUM. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE RADIO. DT
