SERVICE BULLETIN
Customers purchasing an Explorer Van equipped with cast alloy
wheels must be made aware of the lug nut tightening procedure
necessary in the immediate break-in period of the van.
Lug nuts need to be checked and tightened often the first one
hundred (100) miles and once again after an additional two
hundred fifty (250) miles. Lug nuts should then be checked every
one thousand to fifteen hundred (1,000-1,500) miles.
If the wheels are ever removed for service or tire rotation, the
initial lug nut tightening procedure must be gone through again.
Failure to follow proper lug nut tightening procedures could result
in wheel stud failure and possible loss of the wheel.
Optional Upgrade Tires
The buyer understands that the original tire manufacturer provides
a warranty for any implied defects.

Wheels
Please note that it is normal for the front wheels to accumulate
more dust than the rear wheels. This dust is the normal result of
wear on the front disc brake pads. Be sure to follow the cleaning
directions on page 24.
