1995 FORD F-SERIES — Complaint #466695

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:HANGER/BRACKET filed April 19, 2004

NHTSA complaint #466695 (ODI reference 10066519) concerns a 1995 FORD F-SERIES and was filed on April 19, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 19, 2004. The vehicle had 89,470 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger/bracket, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-SERIES cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger/bracket failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1995 FORD F-SERIES shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
