Vehicle safety recall details from the Department of Transportation.

Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 92V026000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 467,000 affected units, BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:SHOE AND DRUM SYSTEM:LININGS, component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions.

Corrective Action

Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7.5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines.

Details

MFR Campaign Number: NR (Not Reported)
Recall Type: Vehicle
Defect Summary: A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions.
Consequence Summary: Increased stopping distances and inablility to holdvehicles on a steep grade results in increased risk of accident in the event ofa sudden stop or when constant braking is needed to maneuver through areas withsteep grades.
Corrective Action: Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7.5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines.
