REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor may fail due to circuit
degradation. If the CMP Sensor should fail, the engine may stall. In the event of an engine stall, a
crash could result without warning. A new CMP Sensor with improved reliability is now available.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to inspect the CMP Sensor to verify which design level sensor is installed in the affected
vehicles, and replace all prior level sensors. This service must be performed on affected vehicles at no
charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Parts to repair this condition are currently not available in sufficient quantities to service all of the
affected vehicles. Therefore, to ensure that an ample supply of parts is available, owners of affected
vehicles will be notified in separate phase mailings over several months. Phase mailing will begin the
week of December 17, 2007; prioritized by age of vehicle. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles

Thanks for the info, but how many of these CPS threads do we really need?

Atleast 20, I'm gonna post one up in the 6.0 section too.

[720Deere]

Really Jon! Is my 6.0 covered under this recall?

go to the dealer and tell them you want your 6.0 cps recall!

[bamaboy473]

Geez. I thought all the 7.3 guys carried a CPS in the glovebox. Ford is only 10 years too late on this. Maybe in 10 years they'll recall the 6.0 heads and everyone will get them free too.

lmao -- 4th one i've seen so far in the last 4 days

I just hope to get a new one so I can keep the new one in my glove box for whenver

[SCUFFY828]
