Recalls
3 recalls name the 1981 Ford F800. Newest first.
The master cylinder to chasis brake tube and hose assemblies may have been moved from their intended position, which could allow chafing against underbody components. Chafing promotes wear of the brake tube and hose assembly and could cause a loss of brake fluid.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Upon inspection brake tube clips will be installed, if necessary, and brake tubes and hose assemblies will be replaced or rerouted.
The involved vehicles were assembled with the left front brake tube retaining clip missing. The absence of a retaining clip may allow the brake tube to rub against the shock absorber, causing wear on the tube and, eventually, loss of brake fluid.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Missing brake tube clips will be installed and any chafed brake tubes will be replaced.
The primary circuit connection, which provides primary electrical power to the engine, could deteriorate due to high current draw produced by builder-installed equipment.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The main cab wiring harness electrical connector will be modified to eliminate deterioration at no charge to owner.
