Recall: |
Ford Motor Company |
| Report Received Date: |
September 15, 1978 |
| Summary:
|
These transmissions may
contain improperly manufactured parking pawl actuating rods.
Consequently, the unhardened cam surface of these rods can allow the rod
to deform during use with resultant increase in shift efforts and
difficulty in releasing the parking pawl and engaging the parking gear. |
|
Consequence: |
If the parking gear cannot
be engaged and parking brake is not set, the vehicle could roll free,
especially if parked on an incline, endangering nearby persons and
property. Note: the parking brake should be used whenever the vehicle is
to be left unattended, until the defect is corrected. |
| Remedy:
|
Dealer will replace the
transmission parking pawl actuating rod without charge to owner. |
|
Note:
Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles and light trucks equipped with C-6
automatic transmissions. |
