1995 Ford Cf7000

Component

Service Brakes, Air:Supply:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. the air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.

Corrective Action

if the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.

Recall Notes

dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. this pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.

1993 Ford Cf7000

Component

Vehicle Speed Control:Springs

Consequence of Defect

as a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.

Corrective Action

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.

Recall Notes

the throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.

1988 Ford Cf7000

Component

Service Brakes, Air:Supply:Low Pressure Warning

Consequence of Defect

switches may not actuate the service reservoir low pressure warning buzzers and lights at pressures below 60 pounds per square inch. consequence of defect: driver would not be warned of air brake system low pressure and loss of brake could be experienced without warning.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

replace low pressure switches.

1988 Ford Cf7000

Component

Steering:Gear Box (Other Than Rack And Pinion)

Consequence of Defect

an incorrect machined piston ball race in the steering gear created an out of tolerance condition.

Corrective Action

this condition could cause wear in the steering gearleading to increased effort and could result in steering gear seizure.

Recall Notes

replace steering gear.

1987 Ford Cf7000

Component

Service Brakes, Air:Supply:Low Pressure Warning

Consequence of Defect

switches may not actuate the service reservoir low pressure warning buzzers and lights at pressures below 60 pounds per square inch. consequence of defect: driver would not be warned of air brake system low pressure and loss of brake could be experienced without warning.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

replace low pressure switches.

1986 Ford Cf7000

Component

Service Brakes, Air:Supply:Low Pressure Warning

Consequence of Defect

switches may not actuate the service reservoir low pressure warning buzzers and lights at pressures below 60 pounds per square inch. consequence of defect: driver would not be warned of air brake system low pressure and loss of brake could be experienced without warning.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

replace low pressure switches.

1986 Ford Cf7000

Component

Parking Brake:Conventional

Consequence of Defect

improperly heat treated steel rollers used in the rear wheel parking brake system causes the rollers to become brittle and may fracture. consequence of defect: rollers could fracture when the parking brakes are set, resulting in reduction or complete loss of parking brake holding capability, which may lead to an accident.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

replace wedge between rollers and rollers assemblies.
