Has your Ford been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

1998 Ford Aeromax recalls, newest first

October 19, 2000NHTSA 00V3350008,400 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air

Summary
Vehicle description: medium duty tandem rear axle trucks with ABS. These vehicles fail to comply with FMVSS no. 121, "air brake systems." the air brake system was plumbed so that complete air reservoir isolation was not provided. Some vehicles were built with an air line from the system ECU relay valve module tee fitting, incorrectly connected to the system supply tank, rather than the system auxiliary primary tank.
Consequence
A leakage or failure can cause a pressure loss in the secondary tank resulting in the draining of the primary tank also, and thus a complete loss of vehicle system air pressure, diminishing brake effectiveness, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle has the incorrectly routed air line. Those with the condition will be correctly plumbed and the air brake system tested to verify proper reservoir isolation.

March 15, 1999NHTSA 99V0500001,687 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air

Summary
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with optional wabco air dryer. The air brake system was plumbed so that the systems did not provide air reservoir isolation. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 121, "air brake systems."
Consequence
The air brake reservoir pressure could be depleted, activating the emergency spring brake. With the emergency spring brake deployed, the vehicle would stop and could not be moved until the brake air system was repaired.
Remedy
Dealers will repair the air line plumbing to install a check valve.
