TEH SPARE TIRE FELL OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS PARKED. THE SUPPORT CABLE RUSTED THROUGH AT THE POINT WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FITTING THAT SLIPS THROUGH THE SPARE TIRE PRIOR TO WINCHING IT UP TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SERIOUS HAD I BEEN DRIVING THE SUV.*AK
