Vehicle recall 92V026000 · March 3, 1992

Ford F-250 and F-350

A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions.
Consequence
Increased stopping distances and inablility to holdvehicles on a steep grade results in increased risk of accident in the event ofa sudden stop or when constant braking is needed to maneuver through areas withsteep grades.
Remedy
Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7.5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines.
Notes
System: brakes; front brake lining.vehicle description: F250 and F350 trucks with 7.3 l diesel and 7.5 l efiengines; F250 and F350 4X4 models with 5.8 l efi engines.note: Ford recommends vehicle operators do not exceed the gcwr and GVWR of theirvehicles, and proper maintenance of the brakes on these vehicles and any trailerparticularly when operating in mountainous areas with long, steep grades.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
