What is wrong
Certain medium duty chassis cabs fail to comply to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the air brake lines may be misrouted between the primary and secondary reservoir tanks of the air brake system.
The risk
If the air brake lines are misrouted, and the air brake system experiences a loss of air from the primary air tank, the vehicle will not have service air bake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Ford will inspect the air brake line routing and if necessary, repair the vehicle. Owner notification began on september 12, 2003. Owners should contact ford at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
