Ford had a recall on coil springs in 2004, am I still able to get reimbursed?
The 1999-2001 Mercury Sable had a recall in 2004 on the coil springs (recall #- 04V332000). My 1999 Sable right front coil spring broke last week. Can I still get money from Ford? Has anyone dealt with issues like this and how do I go about getting reimbursed?
Build Years/Makes/Models: 1999 - 2001 FORD TAURUS

UNits affected: 899060
Recall Number: 04V332000

most likely no since a recall is only offered for a certain amount of time and notices are sent out and they will not give u money they may replace and install parts but no money
in many situations the manufacture sends out notices to the registered proprietors. in any different case have your VIN # handy and make contact with an area broking. they must be waiting to tell you in the experience that your motor vehicle is effected via the remember.
