Ford Motor Company | NHTSA Recall #79V201000

Vehicle safety recall details from the Department of Transportation.

Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 79V201000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 500 affected units, BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:DISC:ROTOR:DISC HUB, component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Dimensional differences in the 1980 versus the 1979 assemblies may allow the inner brake lining/shoe to move outward to a position where it is no longer retained in the shoe slot when the front brake inner linings become worn to the point of needing replacement. The inner brake shoe could then wedge between the rotor and spindle, possibly causing a sudden lock-up of one front wheel. This can occur without brake application and would adversely affect steering control. These dimensional differences could also allow additional travel of the brake piston such that a loss of brake fluid from the front brake system may occur. This would result in increased stopping distances.

Corrective Action

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the hub and rotor assemblies and spindle seals.
