- What is wrong
- Frontline is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 electronic news gathering (eng) vehicles built on a ford e-350 chassis with an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar and manufactured from october 31, 2006, through july 12, 2011.

- Remedy
- Frontline will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Repairs will be performed by local ford dealers and frontline authorized service facilities.
