Description of the problem	2004 monterey was serviced by ford/mercury dealer per recall 12v-006 as safety prevention repairs at 110677 mileage between 08/14/12 and 08/17/12. Invoice states "11s25 torque converter replacement" was completed. Vehicle was returned to customer . Less than five months, on 01/12/13, at 112360 mileage, upon arriving home, the vehicle lost forward and reverse power while attemping to turn it around. It is difficult to understand because the "safety recall notice 11s25 / nhtsa recall 12v-006" states that "it may be possible for your vehicle to lose forward and reverse power while driving due to worn splines in the transmission torque converter". However it would seem unlikely that anything would be "worn" within the short time period and low mileage indicated as follows: note that the "11s25 torque converter replacement" was completed less than five months before, (08/17/12 until 01/12/13). Also note that the mileage difference between the dealer repair invoice (110677) and the point of forward and reverse power loss (112360) is only 1683 miles.
