Thsese vehicles, which have dual fuel tanks, were equipped with service kits that were designed to reduce the possibility of vapour locks. A diode in the electrical fuel pump circuit of these kits is of inadequate capacity to withstand current draw during engine starting. This could cause a short circuit and fuel would not continuously be supplied to the engine resulting in engine stalling without prior warning.
F SERIES BRONCO AND ECONOLINE VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH CMVSS 1103 - HYDROCARBON AND CO.
SHIFT ROD IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE RETENTION GORMMET OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY. IF THE SHIFT ROD WERE TO DISENGAGE THE OPERATOR COULD NO LONGER SELECT THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD THEN REMAIN IN THE LAST FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR HAD BEEN MOVED TO A POSITION ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER FUNCTION. THIS CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURIES.
