Recall 08V-344: Trailer Hitches

Reported Jul 28, 2008 · 108 vehicles affected · KNAPHEIDE MANUFACTURING COMPANY

Problem: Knapheide is recalling 108 my 2006-2008 pro series truck beds equipped with an icc bumper which included a provision for a ball hitch. There may be an insufficient weld attaching the hitch channel to the supporting structure.

Risk: This could result in bending of the hitch channel or the hitch could be pulled off the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Knapheide will offer two remedies to its customers: (1) for those customers who do not use the hitch, the hitch will be removed from the truck bed and replaced with an icc bumper; or (2) for those customers who need a hitch, a receiver hitch assembly will be added to the existing hitch assembly and all suspect weld joints will be re welded.

Recall 06V-471: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Dec 12, 2006 · 5,028 vehicles affected · FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain low cab forward chassis trucks, the unsealed injection pressure regulator connector is exposed to the outside environment due to its location on the back of the engine and the engine's location in the vehicle. The connector has a heat insulation sleeve that may retain water around the connector.

Risk: Over time, the collected water may potentially corrode the connector leads resulting in various engine performance concerns including; running rough, difficult or unable to be started, or engine stall increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the injection pressure regulator connector, inspect for corrosion, and replace the heat insulation. If corrosion is present, the connector will be replaced. If corrosion is not present, dielectric grease will be applied free of charge. The recall began on february 13, 2007. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Reported Nov 9, 2005 · 2,488 vehicles affected · FORD MOTOR COMPANY
