RECALLS ON MY F150 HAVE NEVER BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM FOR MY TRUCK. MY DILEMMA IS THAT I WILL BE OUT OF A TRUCK FOR WORK IF I TAKE IT IN TO "TRUCK CITY" WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FOR AT LEAST A DAY OR TWO ACCORDING TO THEM. I WANT THE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD PROVIDE A COURTESY VEHICLE WHILE PERFORMING THE RECALL REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND. *JB
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE MANUAL STEERING GEARS MAY CONTAIN STEERING GEAR RECIRCULATORY BALLS THAT COULD FRACTURE. THIS FRACTURING IS A RESULT OF IMPROPER HEAT-TREATMENT DURING MANUFACTURE AND CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE INCREASED STEERING EFFORT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE BALL BEARINGS OF THE STEERING GEAR, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE RUBBER HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL INLET TUBE TO THE CARBURETOR FILTER. THIS LEAKAGE CONDITION IS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT INSERTION OF THE FUEL TUBE INTO THE HOSE OR IMPROPER POSITIONING OF THE HOSE CLAMP, CAUSING THE CLAMP TO BE CRIMPED DIRECTLY OVER THE FUEL TUBE BEAD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING FUEL HOSE CLAMP WITH A SPRING-TYPE CLAMP AT THE HOSE-TO-FUEL INLET TUBE CONNECTION, AND ADJUST THE CONNECTION WHERE NECESSARY, WITHOUT CHARGE.
THE UPPER SUPPORT STRAP NUTS, ATTACHING THE FUEL TANK, WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THIS MAY ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DETACH AND FALL TO THE GROUND.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL TIGHTEN ATTACHING NUTS TO PROPER SPECIFICATIONS TO SECURE THE FUEL TANK, AT NO COST TO OWNER.
