Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1997 ford explorer has an intake manifold failure. i understand by reading many message boards and other complaints on the internet that ford has recalled this item on some vehicles but not all. i really can't believe that ford would actually use a plastic intake on anything. i believe it is a break down in judgement and ford should be responsible for the replacement of this part.*ak
