Recall: |
Ford Motor Company |
| Report Received Date: |
February 16, 1978 |
| Summary:
|
The shift selector reaction
springs may be deformed as a result of improper installation of selector
levers during column buildup. Thus the lever may not be able to be moved
into the insert detents located in the steering column assembly. This
could prevent the "park" gear from being engaged. |
|
Consequence: |
Dealer will inspect and, if
necessary, replace the shift selector reaction spring without charge to
owner. |
| Remedy:
|
If the parking gear is not
actually engaged and the vehicle is parked on an incline without
applying the emergency brake, the vehicle could roll free. Property
damage and personal injury to bystanders could result. |
|
Note:
Vehicle description: light trucks equipped with automatic transmission and
optional tilt steering. |
