The manufacturer was contacted and stated the reason for the rust and corrosion was due to the contact living in a salt state and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 72,000.

2 Frame And Members problem of the 2006 Lincoln Navigator

Failure Date: 06/15/2010

2006 Lincoln Navigator with power deploying running boards. Both sides have failed due to the structural support post corroding to the point of mechanical failure. When this fails a passenger stepping on it can be hurt due to a fall so it is a safety issue. Again this is a structural frame member that is failing catastrophically due to corrosion.
