Directional contrl may be affected, because the front live axle brake anchor plates may not be secure. Recall vehicles likely to be affected to tighten the anchor plate bolts and, where necessary, replace the stub axle and brake anchor plate.
RecallsFire may occur due to insufficient crimping of the main battery cable lugs/terminals to the battery cable, which can cause a resistance between the cable and lug/terminal. This can result in either failure of the electrical system, production of sparks, or a short circuit - and hence vehicle fire. Recall affected vehicles for a check of the crimping. If found to be out of specification, re-crimp or solder the cable lug/terminal.
RecallsBraking efficiency may be affected, because the mounting bolts of the brake disc on the trailing axle may not be to specification. This could result in a loss of clamping force on the disc and loosening of the mounting bolts, which can affect the permanent locking of the disc. Affected vehicles require a tightening procedure to address the concern.
RecallsBraking efficiency may be affected due to possible disconnection of the front brakes hoses, resulting in a loss of brake hydraulic fluid. Recalled vehicles need both front brake hoses replaced.
RecallsZFA27000064004090 to ZFA2700006426460: Vehicles fitted with rear brake drums may suffer contamination of the brake lining and compromised braking performance, due to the entry of water and detritus into the drum through the back plate. Affected vehicles need a gasket fitted to the back plate, where the handbrake cable enters the brake drum through the back plate.
RecallsA batch of vehicles converted by SVP have been fitted with a split charging system, the relays of which may not be to specification and so could fail, potentially resuting in wiring loom damage and fire. Although SVP has approached 89 customers and supplied revised parts, Ford is contacting the owners of outstanding vehicles to emphasise the importance of getting in touch with the convertor for rework.
