1977 Ford F150 recalls 6
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- On the involved vehicles, the manual steering gears may contain steering gear recirculatory balls that could fracture. This fracturing is a result of improper heat-treatment during manufacture and can eventually cause increased steering effort.
- The fix
- The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the ball bearings of the steering gear, without charge to owner.
- The problem
- Some of the involved vehicles may have defective carburetors in which, under certain circumstances, the secondary throttle plates may stick open.
- The fix
- Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the carburetor at no charge to owner.
- The problem
- The involved vehicles may experience fuel leakage at the rubber hose connecting the fuel inlet tube to the carburetor filter. This leakage condition is due to insufficient insertion of the fuel tube into the hose or improper positioning of the hose clamp, causing the clamp to be crimped directly over the fuel tube bead.
- The fix
- Dealer will replace the existing fuel hose clamp with a spring-type clamp at the hose-to-fuel inlet tube connection, and adjust the connection where necessary, without charge.
- The problem
- The upper support strap nuts, attaching the fuel tank, were not tightened to specifications. This may allow the fuel tank to detach and fall to the ground.
- The fix
- Dealer will tighten attaching nuts to proper specifications to secure the fuel tank, at no cost to owner.
