\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall on used Ford<\/a> Windstar minivans because of a problem with the rear axle.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reports that Ford will recall 462,750 vehicles from 1999-2003. The Windstar’s rear axle, which is U-shaped, acts as a repository for salt that can be kicked up off the road. The salt can then corrode the axle to the point that it gives way.<\/p>\n

The NHTSA revealed that it had received 234 complaints about the problem that led to 2 accidents but no injuries. More than half of the reports said the axle had split completely.<\/p>\n

Ford will fix the vehicles free of charge and issue refunds to anyone who has paid for them.<\/p>\n

The Ford Windstar is a popular used minivan, but buyers have lots of other options when it comes to buying a used car. Those interested in a minivan may want to look at a used Honda<\/a> Odyssey, Chrysler<\/a> Town and Country or a Windstar that was made outside of the years mentioned. They should also know that drivers in states that don’t salt their roads as much have not reported as many issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
