1993 Ford Bronco Recall

On certain vehicles, a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity may have been inadvertently installed during servicing for recall 2005028 or 2007258. As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the input power feed circuit, and will not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground. This could result in a vehicle fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an updated wiring harness.

A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The failure mode appears to be different than that of Recall 2005028 (05S28). This time, the concern is with long term durability performance issues causing the switch to fail. Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a fused wiring harness designed to eliminate the potential risk of fire.

NOTE: THIS RECALL AFFECTS VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL SELF-ADJUST PAWL MAY SKIP OVER ONE OR MORE TEETH IN THE SELF-ADJUST RATCHET DURING PARKING BRAKE APPLICATION, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE SYSTEM FROM ACHIEVING FULL TENSION. THIS COULD RESULT IN PARKING BRAKE INEFFECTIVENESS WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY IF IT IS NOT LEFT IN GEAR. CORRECTION: A WEDGE WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL SERVE TO LOCK THE PARKING BRAKE SELF-ADJUST MECHANISM PAWL INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RATCHET.

A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

THE U-CLIPS USED IN ATTACHING THE FRONT BUMPER INNER ARM TO THE BUMPER FACE BAR MAY FRACTURE. IF NOT REPLACED, THE FRONT BUMPER MAY LOOSEN AND SEPARATE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE OVER THE BUMPER RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND FRONT BUMPER INNER ARM U-CLIPS WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.

A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

NOTE: 4X4 VEHICLES ONLY. VEHICLES WITH THE TOUCH DRIVE ELECTRIC SHIFT TRANSFER CASE EQUIPPED WITH PRIOR LEVEL ELECTRIC SHIFT MOTORS MAY SLIP OUT OF THE 4X4 HIGH-GEAR POSITION DURING COASTING IN FORWARD GEARS OR WITH POWER APPLIED IN REVERSE GEAR. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY AS IF IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION REGARDLESS OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR POSITION AND COULD RESULT IN DIMINISHED VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND TRANSFER CASE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.

A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
