  1. Pedals and linkages (service brakes)

    NHTSA 79V117000 Reported 82,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    The involved vehicles were produced with brake push-rod to brake pedal retaining pins which were not heat-treated as specified. This could allow the brake pedal to become disengaged from the push-rod.

    Remedy: Dealer will replace the suspect brake retaining pin.

    Model years: 1979

  2. Mid/rear assembly (seats)

    NHTSA 79V013000 Reported 4,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    The involved vehicles may have been built with incorrect weld nuts that attach the rear portion of the front outboard seat track to the floor pan. The incorrect nuts have an oversize diameter and thread, and upon front seat track anchor bolt installation, the threads may have been stripped.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, repair any stripped weld nuts and install larger size bolts to anchor the seat track to the floor at no cost to owner.

    Model years: 1979
