Recalls
3 recalls name the 1983 Ford Club Wagon. Newest first.
Vehicles are subject to excessive underhood temperatures and fuel system pressures in severe duty applications.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This creates potential for fuel expulsion from the fuelfiller pipe which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in afire.
Remedy
Install modification kits to minimize possibility of fuel expulsion and to shield underbody components from exhaust system heat.
The parking gear may not engage, even though the gear shift lever IS placed in the "park" position. This occurs if the linkage inside the transmission that actuates the park gear was improperly manufactured. A pin that retains components on a linkage (actuating) rod could break and the linkage may not engage the parking gear.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the parking pawl actuating rod assembly.
Some of the involved vehicles may have a diode in the electrical fuel pump circuit that may short during engine starting due to inadequate capacity to withstand current draw. A short circuit would result in normal engine starting, but the pump will not continue to supply the engine with fuel.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will replace defective element in the electrical fuel pump circuit with a new relay feed wiring assembly which contains a larger capacity diode, free of charge.
