Problem: Vehicle description: trucks equipped with drag link assemblies containing 24-dl model ball sockets and manufactured by trw. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.

Risk: If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the defective drag links. Owner notification began june 12, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or trw customer service at 1-866-280-3287.
