Recall: |
Ford Motor Company |
| Report Received Date: |
May 15, 1979 |
| Summary:
|
The involved vehicles were
produced with brake push-rod to brake pedal retaining pins which were
not heat-treated as specified. This could allow the brake pedal to
become disengaged from the push-rod. |
|
Consequence: |
Disengagement of the brake
pedal would result in total loss of service brakes, which could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident. Note: the parking brake will
remain operational even if service brakes are lost. |
| Remedy:
|
Dealer will replace the
suspect brake retaining pin. |
