Recalls for Ford ECONOLINE 1979
Select a Ford ECONOLINE 1979 recall from the list:
- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE : DELIVERY : FUEL PUMP
- certain federal-mogul aftermarket fuel pumps sold under the brand names of carter, accuflow, napa, truflow, parts depo, and parts master, shipped between august 2006 and july 2007 for use on the vehicles listed above. the fuel pump diaphragm in certain production runs may have been improperly installed or inadequately tested which may cause the fuel pump to leak.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : PEDALS AND LINKAGES
- the involved vehicles were produced with brake push-rod to brake pedal retaining pins which were not heat-treated as specified. this could allow the brake pedal to become disengaged from the push-rod.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
