2000 Ford F Super Duty recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

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

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
