- Notes
- Ford campaign no 192. Possibility that the nylon bushing in the acceleratorncable may become loose due to an oversize retaining clip. A loose bushing maylrestrict the accelerator cable from returning to idle or to a lower speedor to a slower speed condition, holding carburetor at constant speed. Shouldthis occur, the driver can stop the vehicle by applying the brakes, shiftingto neutral and turning off the ignition. (correct by inspecting the bushingbushing retaining clip where necessary.)

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.
