- Notes
- Ford truck campaign no 196 4X4.LIGHT duty trucks.possibility trucks mayhave been produced with insufficient clearance between the brake masterscylinder primary or secondary outlet tube and the intermediate steering shaft.assembly methods resulted in deformation of the tube support bracket andmisassembly of the brake tubes to the inboard side of the tube support barcket.a bent support bracket in combination with inboard mounting of brake tubescould cause tube to contact the steering shaft and, eventually could result inwearing a hole in tube wall.should this occur, brake fluid and hydraulicpressure would be lost in either the front or rear portion of the dual brakesystem.the operator would be warned by brake light and an increase in brakepedal travel.(correct by inspecting and replacing tube that have been incontact with steering shaft.also, adjust clearance to BE.75 inch or more).

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.
