Recalls for Ford CLUB WAGON 1979

Select a Ford CLUB WAGON 1979 recall from the list:

WHEELS

the wheel assembly may contain substandard welds in the area where the disc is attached to the rim. as a result, cracks can form in the wheel assembly, causing air loss and an underinflated tire.

SEAT BELTS : REAR

on the involved vehicles, the potential exists for the outboard seat belts to become trapped in the seat-bed pivoting mechanism. should the belt become trapped in the mechanism when the seat is converted to a bed, the belt may become cut or frayed.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : FOUNDATION COMPONENTS : HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

the incorrectly installed left front brake hoses may allow for contact between the front brake hoses and the front tires when the front wheels are in full right or left turn positions. if contact is made, the hose could wear and allow brake fluid to leak out.

POWER TRAIN : AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

the involved vehicles were equipped with automatic transmissions in which the parking pawl was not heat-treated. during normal vehicle operation, a parking pawl that has not been heat-treated could become deformed or worn to the point that the transmission will not lock in "park". as a result, the vehicle could roll free if the driver does not set the parking brake when parking or leaving vehicle unattended.

STRUCTURE : FRAME AND MEMBERS : UNDERBODY SHIELDS

certain vehicles may not contain the specified body mounted heat shields. this could cause high floor pan temperatures when the engine is idled for extended periods of time. fouled spark plugs or other engine conditions could further increase exhaust temperatures.

POWER TRAIN : AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

these transmissions may contain improperly manufactured parking pawl actuating rods. consequently, the unhardened cam surface of these rods can allow the rod to deform during use with resultant increase in shift efforts and difficulty in releasing the parking pawl and engaging the parking gear.

STEERING : GEAR BOX : SHAFT SECTOR

the steering gears on the involved vehicles may have been built with improperly manufactured sector shafts from which the threaded portions of the shafts may fracture and separate. should the sector shaft fracture, the pitman arm may disengage from the splined portion of the sector shaft.
