Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Vehicle speed control
Problem: The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
Risk: This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
Fix: Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. Also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.
Electrical system:wiring
Problem: A connector in the wiring where the tilt hood mounted lamps attach to the vehicle wiring harness was built without sealing plugs. Moisture, road salt or other contaminants can enter the connection resulting in crossed circuits, shorts or corrosion of the wiring of the connector.
Risk: The headlamps or other front-end lighting systems can malfunction as a result of this condition increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the connector and install sealing plugs in the open cavities. If the inspection reveals corrosion, a new connector will be installed.
Steering:linkages:drag:link:connection
Problem: The drag link installed can contact the front axle i-beam under certain extreme conditions. This drag link was not intended to be installed on "low profile" vehicles.
Risk: This can result in loss of steering control.
Fix: Dealers will install the correct drag link on the vehicles.
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module
Problem: The vehicles were manufactured without separate abs indicator lamps. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: the brake system could fail and the driver would have no warning.
Fix: Dealers will install abs indicator lamp and circuitry.
