I don't know if this has been posted before, but when I was talking to Ford Customer Care (800-392-3673) I complained about my water pump going on both my 'tours (mine in my sig and my wife's 95 LX) and asked if there was a recall that could be done, or what it takes for a recall to happen and she said that if they get 1 million complaints, they'll issue a recall. So, if everyone would call Ford Customer Care a gripe a little, maybe we can get enough votes to get a recall going on this. I know our member base isn't anywhere near a million, but who knows?
BTW, is there anyone over 75k miles that HASN'T had to replace their water pump?

At 76k miles I replaced the water pump before it failed. When I looked at the old one, under a loupe, I saw that there were 3 hairline, radial fractures starting at the hub. I don't know how much longer it would have lasted, but it was only a matter of time.
