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.

1977 Ford Thunderbird recalls, newest first

March 6, 2008NHTSA 08E0190001,937 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Fuel pump

  • Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed
Summary
Intercontinental auto parts is recalling 1,937 fuel filters, p/nos alg 44/1 and purolator F10024, shipped between January 14 and February 13, 2008, sold for use on the vehicles listed above. The filter's outlet cap may not be securely crimped to the housing. This could result in a separation of filter's outlet cap from the housing.
Consequence
If this condition occurs while attempting to start the vehicle, a no start condition may result and fuel may be pumped onto the ground. If this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the engine may stop due to inadequate fuel supply. If an ignition source were present, fuel leakage may result in a fire.
Remedy
Intercontinental will replace the fuel filters free of charge. The recall began during March 2008. Owners may contact intercontinental at 800-451-2593.

Summary

September 13, 1977NHTSA 77V14100060,000 vehicles potentially affected

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

Summary
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
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.

September 13, 1977NHTSA 77V1400009,000 vehicles potentially affected

Power train › Automatic transmission › Lever and linkage › Column shift

Summary
The involved vehicles were fitted with tilt steering columns containing transmission control inserts intended for trucks rather than passenger vehicles. This may cause the transmission selector pointer to be misaligned and the possibility of starting the engine when the selector is between the neutral (n) and drive (d) detents and the transmission is in drive.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission shift control insert, without charge to owner.
