Safety Recalls

NHTSA Safety Recalls:
Important: The following recalls were issued for the 2006 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). To find out if a specific 2006 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER still has open recalls that require repair, CARFAX recommends contacting an authorized dealership for more information.

Recall date: 07-13-2005
Units potentially affected: 10,061
NHTSA campaign number: 05V310000
Defective part or component: TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Description: On certain sport utility vehicles, the front and rear tires on the driver's side of affected vehicles may have been damaged at the center tread during production. Over time, the damage may be sufficient to allow belt corrosion ultimately leading to a tread separation, which could result in a crash. Dealers will inspect all four tires (to ensure inspection of the left hand side tires that may have been rotated to the other side of the vehicle) for tire tread damage and, if necessary, replace the damaged tire. The recall began on July 13, 2005. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 199,942
NHTSA campaign number: 05V520000
Defective part or component: VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
Description: On certain trucks, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease being applied to the output shaft gear. After a period of continuous use on the high speed setting, lack of grease on the output shaft gear may cause the gear to distort or fracture during operation resulting in a loss of wiper function. Inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause a crash due to impaired visibility. Dealers will inspect the wiper motor for the presence of grease and grease the wiper motor gears if necessary. The recall is expected to begin on November 21, 2005. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 or Lincoln/Mercury at 1-800-521-4140.

New Car Test Drive Review

Category: Review:
Summary:

The standard for the class.
By New Car Test Drive, NewCarTestDrive.com

Ford Expedition remains a benchmark against a strong field of full-size SUVs. The Expedition features a smooth ride for passengers and responsive handling for the driver. It can haul a big load of cargo on its flat cargo floor and it can tow heavy trailers. Clever features such as the power folding third row and the independent rear suspension make it enjoyable to own.

Michelle Krebs filed the original report from Detroit. New Car Test Drive editor Mitch McCullough contributed to this report.

Overview:

Now in its fourth season since its last major redesign and facing new competition, the Ford Expedition remains the established benchmark in this class.

Expedition is smooth, stable and refined. The Expedition benefits from a four-wheel-independent suspension, an unusually sophisticated design for this class, which gives it a smooth ride and responsive handling. Expedition also benefits from Ford's 5.4-liter V8 featuring three valves per cylinder and variable valve timing, which produces 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque.

What Expedition does best is move large quantities of people and their gear. Its perfectly flat cargo area makes it particularly adept at hauling. The available PowerFold third-row seat folds perfectly flat with the press of a button. Open the seat back up, and Expedition can carry up to eight passengers. And Ford hasn't forgotten the special needs of children. The second row features CenterSlide, a small center seat that slides forward to give parents in the front seat access to a child in a safety seat. A rear-seat DVD system is available for entertainment. And the Reverse Sensing System can alert the driver as the Expedition is backed toward an object such as a parked car, a short pole, or a child on a tricycle. When properly equipped, the Expedition is rated to tow up to 8900 pounds. All of this makes the Expedition a good choice for families with a boat or horse.

The popular Eddie Bauer model best exemplifies the Expedition with its luxurious and inviting interior and feature details that make for a more comfortable and convenient ride. Limited and King Ranch models feature special trim colors and come loaded with luxury features.
