Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: Ford is recalling 225,000 my 1992-2003 econoline, my 1993-1995 taurus sho, my 1992-1998 crown victoria, my 1993 bronco, f-series, my 1995-1997 f-series super duty stripped chassis, my 1992-1998 mercury grand marquis, and my 1992-1995 lincoln town car vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired using a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity.
Consequence: As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the intended input power feed circuit, and may not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new wiring harness, or replace the mating electrical component. The recall began on february 18, 2008. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY (manufacturer campaign 08S01).
Defect, as filed: On certain trucks equipped with speed control, gasoline or natural gas engines, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat.
Consequence: Overheating could result in smoke or burn and an underhood fire.
Remedy: Dealers will install a fused wiring harness into the speed control system free of charge. The recall began on august 7, 2006. Owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332. (note: also see recalls 05v017 and 05v388)

Defect, as filed: Vehicle description: light duty passenger vans and stripped chassis. There is interference between the parking brake cable and the fuel line which, over time, can result in damage to the fuel line causing fuel leakage.
Consequence: If there is fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source, fire could result.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel supply line. In addition, a piece of anti-abrasion insulation will be installed to prevent abrasion of the fuel line.
Filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
Defect, as filed: The parking brake front cables were built longer than appropriate that reduces the performance of the parking brake in certain circumstances, and fails to fully comply with all the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."
Consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: the effectiveness of the parking brake system on a severe grade may be diminished.
Remedy: Dealers will repair the parking brake system on the affected vehicles.
