| Summary:
|
Ford Truck Campaign No.
196. 4x4 Light-Duty Trucks. Possibility trucks may have been produced
with insufficient clearance between the brake master cylinder primary or
secondary outlet tube and the intermediate steering shaft. Assembly
methods resulted in deformation of the tube support bracket and
misassembly of the brake tubes to the inboard side of the tube support
bracket. A bent support bracket in combination with inboard mounting of
brake tubes could cause tube to contact the steering shaft and,
eventually could result in wearing a hole in tube wall. |
|
Consequence: |
Should this occur, brake
fluid and hydraulic pressure would be lost in either the front or rear
portion of the dual brake system. The operator would be warned by brake
light and an increase in brake pedal travel. |
| Remedy:
|
Correct by inspecting and
replacing tube that have been in contact with steering shaft. Also,
adjust clearance to be .75 inch or more. |
