Ford Recall No. 03s07
Do any of you out there have any additional information on the below Ford recall, or do you know where on the internet I may be able to locate more information?
I think my 2003 SuperCrew may fall under this recall, as I have this simular clunking sound.
However, when I called the dealership/service department today they said they were unaware of any recalls on 2003 Ford F-150's?
