What is being recalled
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: F-SUPER DUTY STRIPPED MOTOR HOME CHASSIS BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE A MISSING OR PARTIALLY INSTALLED BRAKE PEDAL TO MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD RETAINING CLIP.
Why it is dangerous
IF THE CLIP IS MISSING OR FALLS OUT, THE PUSHROD COULD DISCONNECT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, RESULTING IN THE OPERATOR BEING UNABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE RETAINING CLIP INSTALLATION. MISSING OR PARTIALLY INSTALLED CLIPS WILL BE PROPERLY INSTALLED. IN ADDITION, DEALERS WILL ALSO INSPECT VEHICLES FOR LOWER THAN INTENDED WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE; INCOMPLETE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE INSTALLATION; STEERING COLUMN SHIFT LEVER BRACKET BOLT TORQUE LOWER THAN INTENDED; STEERING GEAR BRACKET FASTENER TORQUE LOWER THAN INTENDED; AND LOWER STEERING COLUMN YOKE BOLT TORQUE LOWER THAN INTENDED.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 00V-170 when calling a dealer.
