A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.
By component
| 88V133000 | 1988-08-09. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS. EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEATER HOSES OR ENGINE BYPASS HOSES. Built 1977-01-01 to 1987-07-01. |
|---|---|
| 87V144000 | 1987-09-09. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL. VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE UNDERHOOD TEMPERATURES AND FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURES IN SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS. Built 1983-08-01 to 1987-08-01. |
| 85V061000 | 1985-05-14. FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL. WHEN FRONTALLY IMPACTED INTO A FIXED BARRIER AT 30 MPH, AS SPECIFIED IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 301, THE LEFT FRAME RAILS OF SUCH VEHICLES MAY DISPLACE INBOARD, PINCHING THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR CANISTER BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND ENGINE SUFFICIENTLY TO DISPLACE THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR DRAIN ROD, ALLOWING THE CONTENTS OF THE CANISTER TO DRAIN. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAK DURING OR AFTER A CRASH INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE. Built 1983-03-01 to 1985-04-01. |
| 82V124000 | 1982-12-13. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE A DIODE IN THE ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT THAT MAY SHORT DURING ENGINE STARTING DUE TO INADEQUATE CAPACITY TO WITHSTAND CURRENT DRAW. A SHORT CIRCUIT WOULD RESULT IN NORMAL ENGINE STARTING, BUT THE PUMP WILL NOT CONTINUE TO SUPPLY THE ENGINE WITH FUEL. Built 1982-09-01 to 1982-10-01. |
| 82V104000 | 1982-10-26. POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY. ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE LOCK WEDGES USED TO SECURE THE AXLE BEARING NUTS TO THE AXLE HOUSING MAY FALL OUT OF POSITION, ALLOWING THE NUT TO LOOSEN. THE NUT ON THE LEFT SIDE MAY FALL OFF, ALLOWING MOVEMENT OF THE AXLE SHAFT. Built 1981-10-01 to 1982-09-01. |
| 1988140 | 1988-10-06. Heater And Defroster. EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEATER HOSES OR ENGINE BYPASS HOSES. ENGINE COOLANT COULD DISCHARGE ONTO THE ENGINE AND ITS EXHAUST MANIFOLD CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE DUE TO HIGH ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TEMPERATURES. CORRECTION: HOSES AND RADIATOR CAPS WILL BE REPLACED AND ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE ALUMINIZED STAINLESS STEEL MUFFLER WILL BE INSTALLED. |
|---|---|
| 1987105 | 1987-10-07. Structure. 1983-87 E-250 AND 350 WITH 7.5 LITRE AND 1985-87 HEAVY DUTY E-250 AND 350 WITH 5.8 LITRE 4V ENGINE AND A GVW OVER 8,500 LBS. THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO GENERATE EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY TEMPERATURES AND FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURES IN SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS, PARTICULARLY IF FUELED WITH OVERLY VOLATILE GASOLINE. THIS CAN CREATE AN ABNORMAL POTENTIAL FOR EXPULSION OF LIQUID FUEL FROM THE FILLER PIPE UPON REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER CAP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A VEHICLE FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE MODIFIED TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL EXPULSION AND SHIELD UNDERBODY COMPONENTS FROM EXCESSIVE UNDERBODY HEAT. NOTE: E250 AND 350 CLUB WAGONS AND ECONOLINE VANS AND CHASSIS. |
| 1985062 | 1985-05-17. THESE VEHICLES (VANS AND CLUB WAGONS) DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 301-FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY. |
| 1982100 | 1982-12-15. A DIODE IN THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT MAY BE OF INADEQUATE CAPACITY TO WITHSTAND CURRENT DRAW DURING ENGINE STARTING. THIS WOULD CAUSE A SHORT CIRUCIT IN THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE FUEL PUMP WHICH WOULD RESULT IN NORMAL ENGINE STARTING BUT FUEL WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED TO THE ENGINE. VEHICLES WITH THIS CONDITION WOULD STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF OPERATION. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
