   Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer / Motor

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, and light and medium duty pickup trucks. A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, or ignition of the plastic cover material. Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield. These vehicles were built at the following assembly plants: atlanta plant from 2/11/00 through 7/31/00; chicago plant from 2/14/00 through 8/4/00; kansas city plant from 2/26/00 to 9/4/00; kentucky truck plant from 2/18/00 to 8/31/00; michigan truck plant from 2/23/00 through 8/3/00; norfolk plant from 2/21/00 through 7/27/00; wayne stamping and assembly plant from 2/25/00 through 8/15/00; and wixom plant from 2/15/00 through 8/8/00.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Loss of visibility while driving increases the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the date code on the wiper motor. Motors built with the suspect time frame will have the wiper motor gear case cover replaced. Owner notification began august 20, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.

   Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Manufacturer campaign number 01S24. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 20 Aug 2001.

3. 01V044011Received 11 May 2001. 4,101 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Drag / Link / Connection

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: trucks equipped with drag link assemblies containing 24-dl model ball sockets and manufactured by trw. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the defective drag links. Owner notification began june 12, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or trw customer service at 1-866-280-3287.

   Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Manufacturer campaign number 01S17. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Jun 2001.

4. 00V232007Received 21 Sep 2000. 6,700 units.

   Service Brakes, Air / Antilock

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air ABS with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ECU), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the ABS ECU. Owner notification began march 20, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

   Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Manufacturer campaign number 00S28. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 20 Mar 2001.

5. 00V229002Received 18 Aug 2000. 8 units.

   Power Train / Automatic Transmission

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Trucks equipped with allison 1000 or 2400 series transmissions. These transmissions can experience park pawl to rear cover interference due to an out of flatness condition.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This could cause non-engagement of the park pawl when the transmission shift selector is moved to the park position, resulting in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Allison transmission is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will remove the transmission from the vehicle, replace the park pawl, and reinstall the transmission in the vehicle. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact allison at 1-800-252-5283 or ford at 1-800-392-3673.

   Parking Brake

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: medium duty trucks equipped with hydromax hydraulic brake systems. The park brake warning lamp circuitry does not include a provision for a park brake warning lamp check function. Therefore, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The check lamp function of the park brake warning lamp is intended to illuminate the lamp when the igntion key is turned to the run position. The park brake warning lamp check function was not incorporated into the module which controls this feature.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will install a revised module which incorporates the park brake check lamp function.
