Rear Air Suspension Springs problems of the 1999 Lincoln Navigator

Two problems related to rear air suspension springs have been reported for the 1999 Lincoln Navigator. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Rear Air Suspension Springs problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2003

Air suspension compressor failure. I was driving along in the vehicle when all of a sudden the back of the vehicle dropped & started bouncing up and down which caused me to swerve. . Luckily there wasn't anything in my path. When I had the vehicle serviced I was told that this particular component fails in over 80% of Lincoln Navigators and now the dealer is selling an "upgraded part" because they're aware that the one installed in the vehicles was defective and I'm wondering why a recall hasn't been done already.
