2000 Ford Econoline recalls

Vehicle speed control: cruise control

NHTSA campaign 08V051000 · reported February 4, 2008 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 225,000 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Ford is recalling 225,000 my 1992-2003 econoline, my 1993-1995 taurus sho, my 1992-1998 crown victoria, my 1993 bronco, f-series, my 1995-1997 f-series super duty stripped chassis, my 1992-1998 mercury grand marquis, and my 1992-1995 lincoln town car vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired using a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity.
The risk
As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the intended input power feed circuit, and may not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground.
The fix
Dealers will install a new wiring harness, or replace the mating electrical component. The recall began on february 18, 2008. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Equipment: other, labels

NHTSA campaign 00V284000 · reported September 21, 2000 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 4,500 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Vehicle description: bi-fuel cng pickup trucks and bi-fuel cng vans, modified by cfi control systems, INC., fail to conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 303, "fuel system integrity of compressed natural gas vehicles." the label affixed to the fuel filler door by the vehicle modifier contains the inspection date and expiration date of the cng tank. However, it does not contain the statement "see instructions on the fuel container for inspection and service life."
The risk
These vehicles do not comply with the requirements.
The fix
Owners will be provided a label with the required statement, along with instructions for affixing the label at the fuel filler door. Owner notification began november 2, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Wheels: lugs/nuts/bolts/studs

NHTSA campaign 00V115000 · reported April 19, 2000 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 3,300 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Vehicle description: cutaways and stripped chassis with single rear wheels. The lug nuts can potentially bottom out on a shoulder on the studs.
The risk
If this occurs, there can be an inadequate clamp load to attach the wheel to the axle, resulting in noise, damage to the wheel and hub, or in extreme cases, loss of a rear wheel while the vehicle is being driven.
The fix
Dealers will replace the rear wheel attaching studs.
