  Reported issue: 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.

  Possible consequence: Abrasion of the steel tube wall that eventually causes a fuel leak may result in a fire, if a source of ignition is present.

  Remedy: Ford dealers will replace the fuel return tubes with flexible stainless steel braided/teflon tubes. Dealers will also inspect the fuel supply tubes.

• 92V026000Mar 3, 1992467,000 vehicles potentially affected
  Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Drum › Shoes/linings
  Covers: Ford F-250 1988–1991, F-350 1988–1991

  Reported issue: A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions.

  Possible consequence: Increased stopping distances and inablility to holdvehicles on a steep grade results in increased risk of accident in the event ofa sudden stop or when constant braking is needed to maneuver through areas withsteep grades.

  Remedy: Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7.5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines.
