This is a recall of aftermarket equipment listed for the vehicles below. It applies only if the recalled part was installed on the vehicle.
- Summary
- Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.
- Consequence
- If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
- Remedy
- Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.
- Notes
- System: brakes; air dryer.vehicle description: trucks and chassis-cab vehicles equipped with air brakes and rockwell wabco system saver "1000" air dryer.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, contact rockwell wabco at 1-800-535-5560 or Ford at 1-800-392-3673.

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.
