1997 Ford Louisville recalls, newest first

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.

March 20, 1997NHTSA 97V0410003 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with FD1060 and FD1460 diesel engines and optional manual fuel shutoff systems. The hand control of the manual fuel shutoff system, mounted on the vehicle's instrument panel, is labeled with the words "shutoff fuel lock", and these words are not illuminated other than by the cab's interior lights. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 101, "controls and displays."
Consequence: Due to the lack of illumination and incomplete labeling of the manual fuel shutoff system, a driver may not identify the hand control to shut off fuel supply to the engine.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the manual fuel shutoff system with the standard automatic key-off fuel control system.
