F 250 4WD HD Pickup V8-460 7.5L VIN G EFI (1997)
Shift Cable: Recalls
Recall 97V17100: A/T Shift Cable Defect
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger vehicles. If the automatic transmission shift cable assembly was not fully
attached to the steering column bracket, the shift cable assembly can come out of the bracket. The vehicle operator would then not be able to shift the
transmission from one of the drive gear positions into the park position even though the gear shift selector would indicate "Park." The condition would
not allow a disengagement of the transmission from the park position or affect proper neutral start switch operation. Unintended vehicle movement could
occur if the parking brake was not set. Dealers will make the proper attachment of the transmission shift control cable to the steering column bracket and
add a tie strap to that connection. Owner notification is expected to begin October 20, 1997. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on
an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
