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 a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1992-1994 Model Year Bronco, F-150-35-
Series pickup trucks and chassis cabs and 1993-1994 Model Year Explorers and Rangers.
Safety Defect
During rapid pedal application of the parking brake, the pedal may go to the floor with little or no effort. Should this occur, the parking brake system nay
not achieve full tension, potentially resulting in parking brake ineffectiveness, or diminished effectiveness.
Repairs
At no charge to you, your dealer will install a parking brake lock-in wedge. This wedge retains the adjustment pawl in mesh with the ratchet. Dealers
currently have instructions and parts ordering information.
Warning
Do not park the vehicle in Neutral. Use First (1) gear and set the parking brake fully. (Note: When the transfer case is in the N (neutral) Position, the
engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the manual transmission is in
gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in N (Neutral)). Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when
leaving the vehicle. Make sure that the gearshift is securely positioned in first (1) gear.
NOTE:
If the parking brake pedal moves to the floor with little or no effort when applied, release and reset the parking brake. Never leave your vehicle
unattended while it is running. If you do not take these precautions, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is about one-half hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full
working day.
