1978 Ford Bronco

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

some of these vehicles may be equipped with automatic transmissions that were assembled with improperly manufactured cast iron extension housings. the housings have mislocated cast cam plate stops. a mislocated stop may prevent the transmission from locking in the park position when the gear shift selector lever is placed in the "p" (park) position. if this occurs a driver may rely upon the reading on the gearshift selector lever indicator and may assume that the transmission parking gear is engaged.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission extension housing without charge to owner.

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission:Lever And Linkage:Column Shift

Consequence of Defect

on the involved vehicles, the park actuation support plates are defective due to their susceptibility to cracking due to improper heat treatment during manufacture. as a result, fragments from a broken plate can become lodged in the transmission parking pawl mechanism. this could prevent the transmission parking pawl from engaging when the selector lever is placed in the "park" position, or prevent the pawl from being disengaged from the park gear.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the dealer will replace the park actuation cam support plates, free of charge, on all affected vehicles.
