Recalls for 1993 Ford Cf7000

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Posted on: 1995-09-27
Description
Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir.  The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.

Consequence
If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.

Corrective Action
Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer.  This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.

DEFECT #2 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:SPRINGS

Posted on: 1993-09-29
Description
As a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.

Consequence
If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle is being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt.  If the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Corrective Action
The throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.
