The "blend door actuator" that came with the vehicle is defective and has been replaced with a new improved part (f87z-18471-da) at the customer expense. The old part when it fails causes a safety issues because you can not defrost the front window until the part is replaced. This should be a "recall" that Ford should have to pay for. I have done some looked into the issue and many vehicles (1998 Ford explorer) have had this same failure.
