1983 FORD CLUB WAGON Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 82V124000 on 12/16/1982
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump
- Manufactured:
- 08/31/1982 - 09/30/1982
- Affected:
- 650
- Defect:
- Some of the involved vehicles may have a diode in the electrical fuel pump circuit that may short during engine starting due to inadequate capacity to withstand current draw. a short circuit would result in normal engine starting, but the pump will not continue to supply the engine with fuel.
- Correction:
- The dealer will replace defective element in the electrical fuel pump circuit with a new relay feed wiring assembly which contains a larger capacity diode, free of charge.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: light trucks and multipurpose passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel pump.consequences of defect: under such circumstances, a vehicle may stall withoutprior warning, creating the potential for a vehicle accident. (vehicle willrestart but will stall again in 5 to 10 seconds).
- Campaign:
- 83V028000 on 03/10/1983
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission
- Manufactured:
- 11/30/1982 - 01/31/1983
- Affected:
- 98,162
- Defect:
- The parking gear may not engage, even though the gear shift lever is placed in the "park" position. this occurs if the linkage inside the transmission that actuates the park gear was improperly manufactured. a pin that retains components on a linkage (actuating) rod could break and the linkage may not engage the parking gear.
- Correction:
- Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the parking pawl actuating rod assembly.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic overdrivetransmissions.system: power train; transmission, parking pawl actuating assembly.consequences of defect: if the parking brake is not applied and the parkinggear does not engage, unexpected vehicle movement could cause an accident andpersonal injury.note: drivers should always apply the parking brake whenever leaving thevehicle.
- Campaign:
- 87V144000 on 09/08/1987
- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1983 - 07/31/1987
- Affected:
- 188,000
- Defect:
- Vehicles are subject to excessive underhood temperatures and fuel system pressures in severe duty applications.
- Consequence:
- This creates potential for fuel expulsion from the fuelfiller pipe which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in afire.
- Correction:
- Install modification kits to minimize possibility of fuel expulsion and to shield underbody components from exhaust system heat.
- Notes:
- System: fuelvehicle description: 1983 through 1987 e250, e350, club wagons and econolinevans and chassis equipped with 7.5 and 1985 through 1987 e250, e350, club wagonsand econoline vans equipped with 5.8 liter engines.
