2000 Ford F Super Duty recalls
Recall 00V-254: Exterior Lighting
Problem: Vehicle description: motor home chassis. These vehicles may have a mis-routed wire harness that attaches to the brake pedal position switch. The wire could rub on the steering column, resulting in a short circuit and a blown fuse, causing a loss of stop lamp function.
Risk: This would fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the wire harness to the brake pedal switch. Owner notification began september 25, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Recall 00V-170: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Vehicle description: f-super duty stripped motor home chassis because they may have a missing or partially installed brake pedal to master cylinder pushrod retaining clip.
Risk: If the clip is missing or falls out, the pushrod could disconnect from the brake pedal, resulting in the operator being unable to apply the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the retaining clip installation. Missing or partially installed clips will be properly installed. In addition, dealers will also inspect vehicles for lower than intended wheel lug nut torque; incomplete transmission shift cable installation; steering column shift lever bracket bolt torque lower than intended; steering gear bracket fastener torque lower than intended; and lower steering column yoke bolt torque lower than intended.
Recall 99V-265: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: Vehicle description: super duty trucks and chassis-cabs equipped with 5.4l manual transmission powertrains. The accelerator cable core wire can wear the cable conduit end fitting due to a fifteen degree angle it makes with the conduit at the throttle body end. This could also lead to wear or separation of strands of the core wire, which could prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position.
Risk: A "stuck" throttle could adversely affect vehicle control.
Fix: Dealers will replace the accelerator cable and throttle body.
