Re: 2005-2008 Escape Hybrid & 2006-2008 Mariner Hybrid "recall ??"
 

Please, Lets not call these recalls or even "recalls" shall we? Its an annoying cosmetic issue and they've released a bulletin (TSB technical service bulletin) so that dealers can know the best way to fix it. Its not bad to post it... but having a bunch of "recall" threads on here gives the impression that the vehicle is unsafe or dangerous.

Changed the thread title. Couldn't help but sigh when I saw the thread, glad it's not what I thought it was.

No big thing.... I am happy you posted it to share the information!! My old steering wheel (I believe) had the problem... I found a different work around. I accidentally rear ended someone causing my airbag to fire and them to replace the steeringwheel. It only cost me about $500 (deductable) :omg:
