Power Train / Automatic Transmission
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission extension housing without charge to owner.

Steering / Gear Box (Other Than Rack and Pinion)
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On the involved vehicles, the manual steering gears may contain steering gear recirculatory balls that could fracture. This fracturing is a result of improper heat-treatment during manufacture and can eventually cause increased steering effort.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the ball bearings of the steering gear, without charge to owner.

Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The involved vehicles may experience fuel leakage at the rubber hose connecting the fuel inlet tube to the carburetor filter. This leakage condition is due to insufficient insertion of the fuel tube into the hose or improper positioning of the hose clamp, causing the clamp to be crimped directly over the fuel tube bead.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealer will replace the existing fuel hose clamp with a spring-type clamp at the hose-to-fuel inlet tube connection, and adjust the connection where necessary, without charge.
Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
77V082000Received . 11 units.
Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly / Mounting
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The upper support strap nuts, attaching the fuel tank, were not tightened to specifications. This may allow the fuel tank to detach and fall to the ground.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealer will tighten attaching nuts to proper specifications to secure the fuel tank, at no cost to owner.
