Subject:
Safety Recall 95S10 - Certain 1995 Model Year Completed Econoline E250 and E350 Commercial Stripped Chassis' - Parking Brake Front Cable
Affected Vehicles
Certain 1995 model year completed Econoline E250 and E350 Commercial stripped chassis' produced from 12/23/94 through 1/24/95 at Lorain
Assembly Plant.
Reasons For Recall
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 105, specifies that the affected vehicles shall be equipped with a parking brake system capable of holding the
vehicle stationary for 5 minutes, in both the forward and reverse direction, on a 20 percent grade. The parking brake front cables installed by Ford on the
affected chassis' are approximately 1.6 inches longer than intended. As a result, the effectiveness of the parking brake on a severe grade may be
diminished, and vehicles may not fully comply with the above noted FMVSS 105 requirement.
To correct this condition, the parking brake front cable with be replaced.
In addition, as an interim measure, certain units built with this condition were fitted, prior to shipment, with a parking brake intermediate extension cable
that was modified (shortened) to compensate for the longer that intended front cable. This resulted in a correctly functioning and compliant brake system;
however, to maintain uniformity for future servicing, these vehicles with have the parking brake front cable and also the intermediate extension cable
replaced.
Refer to the VIN list for the appropriate repair and required parts for each vehicle.
