Ford Windstar recall: Auto maker warns axle could break

Updated

If you're driving an older model Ford Windstar minivan you may need to get that car back to the dealer, pronto. Ford is issued a recall, warning that corrosion could contribute to the rear axle cracking and could potentially cause an accident.

"An axle breaking is a very serious defect," said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, a group formed by Ralph Nader and Consumers Union. He called the recall "long overdue" and suggested it should be in all states.
