2 safety recalls, most serious first
1. Vehicle Speed Control
What's wrong, in plain English: A vehicle part that may fail. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, BUS CHASSIS-COWL, AND BASIC CHASSIS MODELS EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS 5.9L 160 HORSEPOWER ROTARY INJECTION PUMP DIESEL ENGINES. THE ACCELERATOR RETURN SPRINGS CAN FRACTURE.
What could happen: THE ACCELERATOR MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE SPRINGS WITH A TORSION SPRING DESIGN.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 1995 F600.
- Book a repair at any authorized Ford dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 97V124000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
