Ford Ranger recall

Post by ozjohn » Wed Aug 22, 2012 9:51 am

It was reported in today's newspaper that Ford were recalling the some PF & PK (Including Wild Cat) model Rangers for a serious welding fault with the Tow Bars.
If you have one get it checked out as the Tow bar could fail towing heavy loads.

I missed it also OJ and was lucky that you posted it...forwarded it to a good mate who has one and uses his towbar every day (plumber with trailer full or gear). He also tows a 21' van

You're not busting your bum (or anything else) for nuttin.
Your posts are always appreciated. Probably also by the few who don't agree with some of them.
I was away in Wodonga for 4 days for the caravan show and only returned late on Monday and was straight out the door on Tuesday morning for a meeting of a charity that I hold a seat on the board.
Only really had a chance to have a troll through some posts this morning and there's was no way I was going back over all those I missed.
Cheers, ozjohn.
