wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I bought a brand new conversion van from ford in 95. I get a letter today stating there has been a safety recall concerning the ignition switch or some bullshit. Is this a scam? At first I was thinking "what a smart way to get people into a dealership". How far back do they do a safety recall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 You've seriously never heard of the flaming ford ignition switches? Oh, and they can do a recall whenever they feel like it (as little as possible). The NHTSA or whatever it is should have info about it on their website.

Ef8sirJunkie Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 depending on parts some are covered for long period of times. Safty parts like srs equipment should be warranty no matter what year it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
