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
| 84V112000 | 1984-09-25. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. THE FLEXIBLE HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE CARBURETOR FUEL LINE MAY SEPARATE FROM THE FUEL PUMP. Built 1982-01-01 to 1983-08-01. |
|---|---|
| 84V111000 | 1984-09-25. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH. SECONDARY HOOD LATCH COMPONENTS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY POSITIONED DURING ASSEMBLY. IF THE HOOD IS NOT CLOSED TIGHTLY, OR IS INADVERTENTLY RELEASED, THE SECONDARY LATCH MAY NOT WORK AND THE HOOD MAY FLY UP WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. Built 1982-01-01 to 1984-07-01. |
| 84V082000 | 1984-07-09. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP. IF TRUCK IS STRUCK FROM THE SIDE, THE CAP ON THE FUEL TANK COULD BECOME UNSEALED, ALLOWING UNSAFE LEAKAGE OF FUEL. THIS IS A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY". LEAKAGE CAN BE CAUSED BY AN ORANGE-COLORED PLASTIC DIESEL FUEL INFORMATION RING WHICH IS FOUND AROUND THE FUEL TANK NECK, OR BY THE TETHER. Built 1982-09-01 to 1984-06-01. |
| 83V032000 | 1983-03-22. SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS. SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER SPRING SEAT ATTACHING STUDS. THESE STUDS COULD FRACTURE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, ALLOWING THE LOWER SPRING SEAT TO MOVE AND POSSIBLY SLIDE OFF THE AXLE. Built 1983-01-01 to 1983-01-01. |
| 82V033000 | 1982-04-12. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE. ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE MUFFLER GRASS SHIELDS WERE INADVERTENTLY OMITTED DURING MANUFACTURE. WITHOUT THE GRASS SHIELD, AND DURING CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE MUFFLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES COULD BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO EXCEED SPECIFIED STANDARDS AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR IGNITING TALL GRASSES IF THEY WERE PRESENT BENEATH A STANDING VEHICLE. Built 1982-01-01 to 1982-02-01. |
| 1984109 | 1984-09-25. THE RUBBER HOSE WHICH CONNECTS THE FUEL PUMP OUTLET TO THE CARBURETOR FUEL SUPPLY LINE MAY SEPARATE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNDERHOOD FIRE. 1983 RANGER TRUCKS WITH 2,0L AND 2.3L ENGINES ARE AFFECTED. |
|---|---|
| 1983031 | 1983-03-17. 4X4 VEHICLES ONLY. THE FRONT SUSPENSION ATTACHMENT STUDS USED TO ATTACH THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS TO THE FRONT AXLE AND RADIUS ARMS MAY NOT MEET HARDNESS SPECIFICATIONS. THESE STUDS MAY HAVE BEEN FRACTURED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY OR MAY FRACTURE IN SERVICE RESULTING IN ADVERSLY AFFECTED STEERING CONTROL OR RUPTURE OF A FRONT BRAKE HOSE WITH ASSOCIATED LOSS OF FRONT WHEEL BRAKING. |
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.
