  • Ford Recalls 4.5 Million Additional Vehicles in Switch Recall Faulty Part Could Cause Fire; Largest Recall in Ford’S History
    NYS Department of State safetyOFPC ALERT October NY STATE FIRE 2009 Ford Recalls 4.5 Million Additional Vehicles In Switch Recall Faulty Part Could Cause Fire; Largest Recall In Ford’s History Ford Motor Co. says it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire. Ford says 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans will be recalled for repairs due to a small risk of fires. The company says another 3.4 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with the same switches also will be recalled even though there have been no reports of fires. Those vehicles mainly are trucks and SUVs. All vehicles covered by the recall are from the 1992 to 2003 model years. This is Ford’s seventh recall due to the Texas Instruments speed control switches. The recalls cover a total of 14.3 million vehicles and combined are the largest in Ford’s history Summary of the Ford Fire Recalls Both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Ford Motor Co. have issued several recalls of millions of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles as a result of a defective cruise control switch that can lead to a spontaneous fire, even when the vehicle is turned off, parked and unattended. The most recent of this Ford cruise control recalls occurred on September 9, 2008, when the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration re-recalled millions of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury SUV’s pickup trucks, vans and cars. This advisory was the second recall warning from the safety agency issued in 2008 and is meant to bring in nearly 5 million cars, trucks and SUVs which still have not been brought in for repair since an earlier recall of 12 million vehicles in February 2008.

  • Subframe Design General
    Subframe design General General The subframe can be used for the following purposes: • It provides clearance for wheels and other parts which protrude above the frame. • It provides rigidity and reduces the stress in the rear overhang. • It protects the chassis frame by distributing the load from the bodywork evenly over a larger area of the chassis frame. • It contributes to dampening frame oscillations that cause discomfort. To adapt the subframe to the torsionally flexible part of the chassis frame, the sub- frame should also be torsionally flexible, provided the bodywork allows it. There- fore, the side members and crossmembers of the subframe should consist mainly of open profiles, e.g. U-profiles. 376 530 More information on chassis frames is found in the document Chassis frames. More information on chassis frames and subframes is found in the document Select- ing the subframe and attachment. More information on the concepts of torsional rigidity and torsional flexibility is found in the document Forces and movements. Scania Truck Bodybuilder 22:10-649 Issue 2 2016-09-02 © Scania CV AB 2016, Sweden 1 (8) Subframe design General The subframe can appear differently depending on the characteristics required. The subframe length can vary. It can cover the whole chassis frame or be short and only cover part of the chassis frame. The height of the chassis frame can be adjusted to the current area of application. 376 541 Example of a subframe.

An Abstract of Design, Analysis and Optimization of Rear Sub-frame using Finite Element Modeling and Modal Analysis by Gaurav Kesireddy Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering The University of Toledo May 2017 A sub-frame is a structural component of an automobile that carries suspension, exhaust, engine room, etc. The sub-frame is generally bolted to Body in White(BIW). It is sometimes equipped with springs and bushes to dampen vibration. The principal purposes of using a sub-frame are, to spread high chassis loads over a wide area of relatively thin sheet metal of a monocoque body shell, and to isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the body. As a natural development from a car with a full chassis, separate front and rear sub-frames are used in modern vehicles to reduce the overall weight and cost. In addition, a sub-frame yields benefits to production in that subassemblies can be made which can be introduced to the main body shell when required on an automated line.
