SAFETY RECALL 480 - FUEL PUMP HOSE CONNECTION AND CLAMP
^
VEHICLES INVOLVED - 1984 BRONCO VEHICLES WITH V-8 ENGINES
Dear Bronco Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has
determined that certain 1984 Bronco vehicles equipped with V-8 engines fail to conform to U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
301, "Fuel System Integrity". Our records indicate that you own a vehicle involved in this recall, which is identified by the serial number on the enclosed
Form 1864.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NON-COMPLIANCE:
On some of these vehicles the flexible hose which supplies fuel to the fuel pump may not be properly attached to the fuel pump inlet nipple. The hose
could pull off during a FMVSS No. 301 30 mph frontal barrier impact test, resulting in fuel leakage. Should the hose similarly disconnect during a
vehicle collision and an ignition source were present, the potential for a fire would exist.
SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED:
Ford is recalling your vehicle to correct this condition. We wish to inspect the fuel hose attachment to the fuel pump and, if necessary, correct the
attachment -- at no cost to you.
TO HAVE THIS SERVICE PERFORMED:
^
Contact a Ford dealer immediately for an appointment. Dealers have repair instructions and additional parts are not required. The time needed to
inspect and correct your vehicle is less than one-fourth hour.
^
Present the enclosed Form 1864 to your dealership when the recall service is done. After servicing your vehicle, the dealership will return the form
to us verifying that the required inspection or repair has been performed. If you lose the Form 1864, the dealership will still service your vehicle at
no charge to you.
IF YOU NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE:
Please tear out the postage prepaid card from the enclosed Form 1864, complete Section 1, and return it to us. This information is needed to update our
records.
IF THE DEALER DOES NOT MAKE THE REPAIR QUICKLY AND WITHOUT CHARGE:
If you have difficulties in getting this recall service performed, complete Section 3 of the prepaid postcard and mail it to us. If you still cannot get the
repair done and without charge, you may wish to report that fact to:
Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, D.C. 20590; or, you may call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline at
800-424-9393.
We regret any inconvenience this recall may cause you. But we want you to have this service performed for your safety and satisfaction with your
Ford-built vehicle.
