- The problem
- The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
- The risk
- This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
- The fix
- Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. Also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.

1995 Ford F800 recalls 5
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
- Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. The air dryer can become overpressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.
- The risk
- If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridge can separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.
- The problem
- A connector in the wiring where the tilt hood mounted lamps attach to the vehicle wiring harness was built without sealing plugs. Moisture, road salt or other contaminants can enter the connection resulting in crossed circuits, shorts or corrosion of the wiring of the connector.
- The risk
- The headlamps or other front-end lighting systems can malfunction as a result of this condition increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the connector and install sealing plugs in the open cavities. If the inspection reveals corrosion, a new connector will be installed.
- The problem
- The drag link installed can contact the front axle i-beam under certain extreme conditions. This drag link was not intended to be installed on "low profile" vehicles.
- The risk
- THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
- The fix
- Dealers will install the correct drag link on the vehicles.
- The problem
- The vehicles were manufactured without separate abs indicator lamps. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 105, "Hydraulic brake systems."
- The risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: the brake system could fail and the driver would have no warning.
- The fix
- Dealers will install abs indicator lamp and circuitry.
