Parking Brake Actuator: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 10V202000: R/H Rear Park Brake Actuator Defect
VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S):
Ford/Ranger 2010
MANUFACTURER: Ford Motor Company
MFR'S REPORT DATE: May 06, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V202000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A
COMPONENT: Parking Brake: Driveline: Hydraulic: Actuator
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 2934
SUMMARY:
Ford is recalling certain model year 2010 Ranger vehicles manufactured from June 8, 2009 through February 2, 2010 equipped with manual
transmission. It is possible for the parking brake cable to become disconnected from the right rear actuator during cold weather. This may occur when the
parking brake is released if wet parking brake shoes have frozen in the applied position. If the right rear parking brake cable becomes disconnected, the
pedal will have extended travel and may not fully apply the parking brake.
CONSEQUENCE:
A manual transmission vehicle parked in neutral without a fully applied parking brake may have unintended movement which may cause a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will install a revised right rear parking brake actuator to prevent cable disconnection free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or
before May 19, 2010. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
NOTES:
Ford recall No. 10S12. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236
