What NHTSA recorded

On certain medium duty chassis cab vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes, the drive line park brake anchor bolt may be susceptible to fatigue loading. The bolt could fracture over time due to insufficient clamp load as a result of improper anchor bolt plating.

Possible consequence

If the park brake anchor bolt fatigues and ultimately fractures, the park brake may not function and there may be no indication to the driver of the malfunction when the park brake is set. This may cause the vehicle to roll away without warning, which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the park brake anchor bolt. The recall began on october 6, 2005. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
