- Electrical system:wiring
- Manufactured:

- Affected:
- 17,821
- Notes:
- Possibility that the starter cable and starting circuit wire assemblies wereimproperly routed permitting the surrounding protective sleev to chafe againstthe forward edge of the front suspension right control arm.if conditionexists, the movement can wear through the protective sleeve and the cable andor wire insulation and result in a battery voltage short to the upper arm.should this occur, the vehicle could immediately be rendered inoperative withthe simulataneous loss of all electrical system power.(correct by inspectingand replacing cables where necessary).

- Notes:
- Lincoln campaign no 124.equipped with hydralically powered brake boostersystem.possibility that the hydraulically powered brake booster system mayhave an incorrectly installed pressure relief valve in the booster accumulatorthat could cause a build-up of excessive pressure in the accumulator.thiscondition could result in fracturing the booster housing, separation of theaccumulator can and spring or discharge of a ball plug that seals an oilgallery in the housing.if the hood was open when separation occurs, a personstruck with a piece of the assembly could be injured.if the piece hit thebrake lines they could be damaged causing loss of fluid in one or both brakesystems.loss of fluid pressure would follow separation of the boosterassembly with loss of power assist for both steering and brakes.(correct byinspecting and replacing booster assembly on all vehicles involved).
