| 2007258 | 2007-08-07. Electrical. On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The failure mode appears to be different than that of Recall 2005028 (05S28). This time, the concern is with long term durability performance issues causing the switch to fail. Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a fused wiring harness designed to eliminate the potential risk of fire. |
|---|---|
| 2001045 | 2001-03-01. Structure. On certain Ranger Electric vehicles, the bolts that attach the transaxle to the vehicle may loosen and the driver may notice a jerking motion and/or a clunking sound. If the vehicle is not serviced promptly. all nine bolts may ultimately fall out or fracture. If this occurs, the transaxle may fall down from its intended location and cause the transaxle to be in a different gear than indicated. If the shifter is in park, the vehicle may still be free to roll as if in neutral. Correction: Transaxle bolts will be replaced with longer bolts equipped with a thread lock material. New bolts will also have a higher installation torque. |
| 1999143 | 1999-07-30. Powertrain. On certain Ranger Electric vehicles, the transaxle may have been manufactured with the park detent spring misaligned. If the spring is misaligned, the park mechanism may not engage when the shift lever is placed in the park position. If the park mechanism does not engage and the operator has not applied the parking brake, the vehicle may be free to roll as if in neutral which could potentially result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Transaxles with misaligned park detent springs will be replaced. |
| 1999061 | 1999-04-15. Engine. On certain vehicles, the speed control cable may interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the speed control. If the speed control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially cause an accident. By not using speed control, this condition will not occur. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and, if required, speed control cable will be replaced. |
| 1998175 | 1998-09-08. Fuel System. AN "O" RING ON THE FUEL INJECTOR DAMPER ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL INJECTOR DAMPER ASSEMBLY WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY. |
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.
