Recall 86V-076: 1978–1986 Wheeled Coach 1600 Series, 1978–1986 Wheeled Coach 1800 Series and 1 more
COLLINS INDUSTRIES,INC. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jun 10, 1986, covering about 40 vehicles.
The problem
A wire from the stop lamp switch to the speed control amplifier is missing. This wire sends a signal to the cruise control to disengage when the brakes are applied. Consequence of defect: when the cruise control is on and the brakes are applied, the cruise control will not disengage. This causes the ambulance speed to remain constant, causing poor brake performance and loss of speed control which can result in an accident.
The fix
Install redesigned wiring harness which includes missing connection.
Notes
System: cruise control. Vehicle description: 1600 and 1800 series buses and type I and type III ambulances built on ford e-350 cutaway and f-350 cab chassis with ford's cruise control option.
