    NHTSA 84V123000 Reported 14,998 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    The brake line may be positioned too close to an engine bracket. Normal engine movements may cause the bracket to rub against the brake line.

    Model years: 1984

  2. Latch (latches/locks/linkages)

    NHTSA 83V063000 Reported 610,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

  3. Air conditioner (equipment)

    NHTSA 82V045000 Reported 113,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    On the involved vehicles, a thermal limiter in the blower motor resistor circuit of the air conditioner/heater assembly may not function as intended. If the blower motor becomes jammed when the system is operating in the medium-low blower speed, the resistor coils can overheat causing melting and possible ignition.

    Remedy: Dealer will replace the resistor assembly with an improved version without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1982

    NHTSA 81V084000 Reported 4,338 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY
