Ford Motor Company |
| Manufacturer Responsible for This
Recall: |
Ford Motor Company |
| Report Received Date: |
April 28, 1978 |
| Summary:
|
Some of these vehicles may
be equipped with automatic transmissions that were assembled with
improperly manufactured cast iron extension housings. The housings have
mislocated cast cam plate stops. A mislocated stop may prevent the
transmission from locking in the park position when the gear shift
selector lever is placed in the "P" (park) position. If this occurs a
driver may rely upon the reading on the gearshift selector lever
indicator and may assume that the transmission parking gear is engaged. |
|
Consequence: |
If the parking brake is not
engaged and the vehicle is left unattended while still in gear, it could
roll free, causing injury and damage to persons and property. |
| Remedy:
|
Dealer will inspect and, if
necessary, replace the transmission extension housing without charge to
owner. |

Note:
Vehicle description: Light trucks equipped with C-6 automatic transmission. |
