I received the following notice from a fellow Model A guy a little bit ago, and thought it might be of general interest to others....
Ford Motor Company and the NHSTA announced on March 28 the recall of Model A automobiles for potential defects in rear axle assemblies. In an unprecedented event, the recall of the eighty year old cars is being aided by The Model A Restorers’ Club and The Model A Ford Club of America. The recall is directed to the approximately 130,000 remaining unmodified Ford Model As estimated to be on the roads currently. Ford spokesperson, Mitch Presnicki, confirmed the exceptionality of the recall stating that "it would be quite easy for us to slough off the responsibility, but in fact, the complaints seem to be very directly tied to manufacturing and design assessments deliberately made by Ford engineers more than eight decades ago." Owners are asked to bring their vehicles, along with the Bill of Sale, to any authorized Ford dealership and the Ford service department will do a 10-15 minute inspection of the rear end bearings, drive shaft and axles. This will be at no charge to the owner. The source of the complaints are that several owners noticed that as the cars were going forward, even at slow rates of speed, that the rear wheels were turning.
