THE STEEL FUEL RETURN TUBES THAT CONNECT THE FRAME FUEL RETURN LINES WITH THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL CAN CONTACT THE PINCH WELD FLANGE CONNECTING THE DASH PANEL TO THE FLOOR PAN. CONTINUED CONTACT LEADS TO ABRASION OF THE STEEL FUEL RETURN TUBE AND EVENTUALLY RESULTS IN A FUEL LEAK. Remedy: FORD DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL RETURN TUBES WITH FLEXIBLE STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED/TEFLON TUBES. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSPECT THE FUEL SUPPLY TUBES.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 7.5 LITRE ENGINES. THE FUEL RETURN TUBE, WHICH CONNECTS THE FRAME FUEL RETURN LINE WITH THE ENGINE FUEL RAIL, MAY CONTACT THE PINCH WELD FLANGE CONNECTING THE DASH PANEL TO THE FLOOR PAN. THIS COULD LEAD TO ABRASION OF THE STEEL TUBE AND RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK. CORRECTION: FUEL RETURN TUBES WILL BE REPLACED WITH FLEXIBLE STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED/TEFLON LINES AND A VINYL GUARD WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE BODY WELD FLANGE.
NOTE: MOTORHOME CHASSIS. VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF EFFECTIVENESS DUE TO OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKE FLUID IN BRAKE LINES LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR THE LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: A HEAT SHIELD WILL BE INSTALLED AND BRAKE LINE INSULATION WILL BE ADDED TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT BRAKE LINES.
THE LOWER END OF THE BRAKE ROD WHICH CONNECTS THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM TO THE POWER BRAKE ASSEMBLY BELL CRANK MAY HAVE INADEQUATE WALL THICKNESS. SHOULD THE WALL FRACTURE, IT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY. CORRECTION: A NEW BRAKE ROD WILL BE INSTALLED.
NOTE: F-SUPER DUTY MOTORHOME CHASSIS AND F-SUPER DUTY COMMERCIAL CHASSIS. INTERCONNECTION OF THE RETURN LINE PLUMBING FROM THE HYDROBOOST POWER BRAKE UNIT AND THE POWER STEERING GEAR MAY CAUSE LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE HYDROBOOST UNIT WHEN NO FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS COULD CAUSE "DRAGGING BRAKES" WHICH, IF NOT NOTICED, COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FADE OR IN PREMATURE WEAR AND/OR HEAT DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH REVISED RETURN LINES AND BRAKE COMPONENTS WILL BE INSPECTED. DAMAGED BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS WILL BE REPLACED.
