NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V140000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: March 26, 2007
COMPONENT: Electrical System: Battery
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 1022
SUMMARY:
On certain trucks equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine, insufficient clearance of the battery positive (B+) wire to the right hand splash shield bolt may
result in the battery B+ wire contacting the splash shield bolt.
CONSEQUENCE:
Long term contact could cause wire chafe, resulting in copper wire being exposed. If this condition occurs, the battery B+ wire could short to ground
increasing the risk of a fire.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the battery B+ wire location and, if necessary, reposition the wire. The recall is expected to begin on or about March 30, 2007.
Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
