1997 FORD LOUISVILLE Recalls (3)

Campaign:
96V200000 on 10/20/1996
Component:
Service brakes, air:supply:low pressure warning
Manufactured:
03/30/1995 - 07/28/1996
Affected:
500
Defect:
The air brake system was manufactured having air brake pressure release times of approximately 1.5 seconds. this does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 121, "air brake systems."
Consequence:
This condition can result in slight trailer brake drag and tire scuffing increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
Correction:
Dealers will install a quick release valve in the air pressure release systems.
Notes:
Vehicle description: chassis cab and truck tractors equipped with either standard tractor packages or optional tractor packages other than the unipac tractor package.owner notification:owner notification is expected to begin december 18, 1996. note:owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
06/09/1996 - 11/05/1996
Affected:
3
Defect:
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with fd1060 and fd1460 diesel engines and optional manual fuel shutoff systems. the hand control of the manual fuel shutoff system, mounted on the vehicle's instrument panel, is labeled with the words "shutoff fuel lock", and these words are not illuminated other than by the cab's interior lights. this does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 101, "controls and displays."
Consequence:
Due to the lack of illumination and incomplete labeling of the manual fuel shutoff system, a driver may not identify the hand control to shut off fuel supply to the engine.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the manual fuel shutoff system with the standard automatic key-off fuel control system.

Defect:
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with optional wabco air dryer. the air brake system was plumbed so that the systems did not provide air reservoir isolation. this does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 121, "air brake systems."
Consequence:
The air brake reservoir pressure could be depleted, activating the emergency spring brake. with the emergency spring brake deployed, the vehicle would stop and could not be moved until the brake air system was repaired.
Correction:
Dealers will repair the air line plumbing to install a check valve.
