Affected:
192
Consequence:
Using the wrong sized clamps to attach the rim and tireassembly to the wheel spokes could cause the studs that attach the clamps to thespokes to bend. if the studs are bent, there is an increased risk of studfracture that could result in the rim and tire assembly breaking from thewheel.

Component:
Vehicle speed control:springs
Manufactured:
02/29/1992 - 04/30/1993
Affected:
20,000
Defect:
As a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.
Consequence:
If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle is being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt. if the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Correction:
The throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.
Notes:
System: fuel: throttle linkages and control return spring.vehicle description: medium and heavy trucks, truck chassis, and bus chassisequipped with cummins 5.9l and 8.3l diesel engines with in-line fuel injectionpumps.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed uponservice date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and freeof charge or the remedy is does not correct the defect or noncompliance, pleasecontact the ford service center at 1-800-392-3673. also, contact the nationalhighway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
Campaign:
94V056000 on 03/31/1994
Component:
Electrical system:battery
Manufactured:
08/31/1986 - 02/28/1994
Affected:
3,660
Defect:
System: electrical system; battery. vehicle description: medium duty school bus chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes, tilt hoods, 5.9l, 6.6l or 7.6l diesel engines or 6.1l or 7.0l gasoline engines and originally sold or currently registered in connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania ,rhode island, vermont, and wisconsin. the battery power junction block mounted on the right fender apron, which serves as an electrical connection point for several engine compartment systems, is susceptible to road splash. the terminals at the junction block can experience corrosion and can fracture, causing loss of electrical power and engine shutdown.
Consequence:
Engine shutdown, loss of power steering assist, or loss of hydraulic brake boost can occur which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the junction box, main power terminal the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing junction block. the wiring of the hydraulic brake circuit will also be modified by bypassing the junction block. the new terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.

Campaign:
94V118000 on 06/28/1994
Component:
Steering:rack and pinion
Manufactured:
10/31/1987 - 08/31/1992
Affected:
12,700
Defect:
The steering gears have an improperly machined snap ring groove. this can cause a fracture of the snap ring with subsequent damage to the recirculating ball guide tube. also, the o-ring seal in vehicles built after february 1988 does not meet specifications and is inadequate, causing interior leakage around the o-ring / glide ring seal in the steering gear.
Consequence:
The fracture of the snap ring results in increasing deterioration of the ability to turn the vehicle to the right. the driver would experience increased steering efforts or a "crunchy" feeling at the steering wheel. the inadequate o-ring seal causes momentary reductions in power steering assist at low speed and certain left turn maneuvers. both conditions result in decreased steering ability.
Correction:
Dealers will rebuild the steering gear. if a broken snap ring is found during rebuilding, the steering gear will be replaced with a remanufactured unit.
Notes:
System: steering: gear: rack and pinion.vehicle description: school bus chassis.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and freeof charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact the ford service center at 1-800-392-3673. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
