WIRING LOOM INSULATION ALSO SPLIT CHARGE RELAY CAPACITY
On some Transit Ambulance vehicles the split charge relay is insufficiently rated for its application. Additionally on these same vehicles the engine compartment wiring loom is equipped with unsatisfactory insulation.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a new level charge relay. At the same time the engine compartment wiring loom will be inspected replaced if damaged or retaped with new level insulation tape if undamaged.
BRAKING SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT
Vehicles built during the period covered by the recall may have been fitted with a brake servo which incorporates an out of specification seal on the output shaft. This could result in excessive drag on the brake pushrod preventing the brake
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a supplementary return spring between the brake pedal and the brake servo housing.
POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION OF BRAKE FLUID
The clutch system hydraulic hoses have been manufactured from a material which contains mineral oil. Since the clutch and brake systems share a common fluid reservoir fluid from the clutch system which has been contaminated by contact with the hoses may m
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of new seals to the brake master cylinder. At the same time the brake/clutch hydraulic systems will be purged of the original fluid and new clutch hoses will be fitted. In addition vehicles built prior

TYRE PLY RATING MAY BE INCORRECT
It is possible that 6 ply rated tyres may have been fitted instead of the 8 ply rated tyres specified.
Recall the affected vehicles to have the tyre ply ratings checked and where necessary to have correctly rated tyres fitted.
VARIOUS - BRAKE AND CLUTCH RELATED
1) Due to a defect in the clutch master cylinder the clutch may not disengage. 2) Water ingress to brake servo. 3) The front brake hoses may be incorrectly routed and could in some circumstances contact the retaining bracket nut. 4) Possible contamination
Recall the affected vehicles and:- 1) Check build date and replace clutch master cylinder where required. 2) Fit a water shield to the brake servo to protect the servo push rod. 3) Check the routing of the front brake hoses re-routing where required.
INSECURITY OF REAR AXLE
On vehicles where the rear axle mounting arrangement is by means of studs and bolts the axle assembly may become loose to the vehicle underbody.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of modified axle mounting blocks to the vehicle underbody and replacement of the subject studs and nuts by bolts.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF OFFSIDE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
It is possible that some Mondeo vehicles may have been fitted with a right hand front brake caliper where the casting is not to specification. In time this may result in fluid leakage with the loss of one brake circuit.
Recall the affected vehicles for a check on the manufacturing date of the subject caliper. Caliper units falling within the affected range will be replaced.
FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM VACUUM ASSISTANCE
The brake vacuum pump may cease to provide vacuum assistance. Should this occur greater brake pedal pressure would be needed and stopping distances may be increased.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to Ford dealers to have the brake pump manufacturing codes checked. Vacuum pumps within certain ranges will be replaced with new units. This campaign supersedes recall R1995/081 and includes all the vehicles alrea

STOP LIGHT SWITCH MAY BE FAULTY
The stop light switch on a small number of the subject vehicles may not operate as intended. Should this occur the stop lights may fail to illuminate when the footbrake is applied.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the stop light switch with a switch of the latest specification.
STOP LIGHT SWITCH MAY BE FAULTY
The stop light switch on a small number of the subject vehicles may not operate as intended. Should this occur the stop lights may fail to illuminate when the footbrake is applied.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the stop light switch with a switch of the latest specification.
POSSIBILITY OF REAR BRAKE CYLINDERS BEING INSECURE
It is possible that the two bolts securing the rear brake cylinder to the brake back plate may not have been fully tightened. If the bolts were to come loose the efficiency of that brake circuit could be impaired.
Recall the affected vehicles to tighten the subject bolts to the correct specification.
CHAFING OF BRAKE HOSES
The hydraulic hoses to the rear brake calipers may have been incorrectly routed. This could result in contact between the hose and the suspension system with consequent damage to the hose.
Recall the affected vehicles to check and where necessary re-route the subject hoses. Any damaged hoses will be replaced.
INCORRECTLY RATED TYRES
S maximum speed rated tyres have been fitted. As the vehicle maximum capability exceeds the maximum speed rating of the S rated tyre vehicle stability could be adversely affected on a vehicle travelling in excess of the speed rating.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the tyres with T maximum speed rated examples.
WHEEL NUTS INSUFFICIENTLY TORQUED
The nuts securing the road wheels may not have been tightened to the correct torque and could become loose.
Recall the affected vehicles and tighten the wheel nuts to the correct torque. Any damage to wheels or studs caused as a result of undertorqueing will be addressed at the recall.
LOSS OF TYRE PRESSURE
Due to misplacement of the cap ply tyres may lose pressure through a crack in the butyl inner liner. This may have an adverse affect on vehicle control.
Recall the affected vehicles and check/replace the tyres as necessary with a different construction tyre.
THROTTLE MAY NOT RETURN TO IDLE POSITION
As a result of tightness in the throttle spindle and/or fouling of the speed control cable on the inlet manifold the throttle may not return to the idle position when the accelerator pedal is released.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the speed control cable with the latest level type and if necessary also replace the throttle body assembly with the latest level type.
FAILURE OF HEADLAMPS
A possibility exists that excessive torque generated when turning on the headlamp switch may induce an internal open circuit and cause the headlamps to go out.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the headlamp switch with a revised component.
EXHAUST DOWNPIPE MAY MOVE AND CONTACT WIRING LOOM
It is possible that the exhaust downpipe may separate from the upper flange and drop onto the starter motor terminal causing damage to the vehicle wiring loom. This may result in the loss of various electrical circuits.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the exhaust downpipe with the current production component.

Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the exhaust downpipe with the current production component.
TAILGATE STRUT BRACKETS MAY BEND.
There is a possibility that one or both of the brackets which attach the tailgate struts to the body 'C' pillars may bend allowing the strut to detach. This could permit the tailgate to close unexpectedly.
Recall the affected vehicles for reinforcement of both strut brackets and replacement of any brackets found to be bent.
FRONT BRAKE DISCS OF INSUFFICIENT THICKNESS
A small number of subject vehicles may have been equipped with front brake discs of insufficient metal thickness. This could adversely affect braking performance.
Recall the affected vehicles for examination of the front brake discs. Where any disc does not meet the manufacturers dimensional specification both front discs will be renewed.
INSECURITY OF FRONT TOWING EYE
The welds securing the front towing eye to its mounting bracket are not to specification and can result in detachment of the eye when the vehicle is under tow.
Recall the affected vehicles for inspection of the welds which secure the front towing eye. Where these are not to specification the welds will be reworked as per the manufacturers instructions.
