• Recall 1987098 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On vehicles with efi or cfi, the spring-lock fuel line coupling used to connect the fuel supply and return lines to the efi fuel rails or to the cfi throttle bodies as well as other fuel line connections near the dash panels on some vehicles, could disengage during vehicle use. Should this occur, loss of fuel will result, providing the potential for a vehicle fire. Correction: coupling retainer clips will be installed on affected vehicles.

• Front brk caliper seizure investigation as of 19870115

  Analysis:allegedly, during brake application the disc brake calipersseize, resulting in excessive pull and/or front brake lock-up.Somereports cite a complete loss of vehicle control resulting in unforewarnedand unavoidable travel into opposing traffic lanes.Consumers claim thatservice personnel have consistently attributed the problem to the use ofphenolic pistons which overheat and seize in the caliper bores.Information provided by the manufacturer disclosed the complaint, accident,and injury statistics tabulated above.Other manufacturer-supplied datadisclosed that two design changes with potential relevance to this matterwere made during the production years in question.In october 1981, thespecification of the maximum outside diameter of the piston was decreasedby 0.0250 mm and the minimum inside diameter of the caliper piston boreincreased by 0.024 mm.These changes were made to reduce the possibilityof premature wear of the front disc brake pads.A second design revisionwas made in september 1986 to reduce inadvertent chipping of the caliperpistons during brake pad replacement.Warranty claim data were inconclus-ive in identifying a failure trend accompanied by risk of accidents.The history of bronco brake pull/drift complaints disclosed that ford hadknowledge of the problem.An august 1986, ford truck interoffice letterdiscussed the phenomenon and provided suggestions to remedy the problemin the field.The condition was defined as "recession steer", manifest tothe vehicle operator as drift or pull upon brake application.In fact,the sensation was attributed to a net steer to the left when the frontsuspension moves rearward under braking forces.Conclusion:seizure of the front caliper pistons has not been identifiedas the origin of the alleged problem.Additionally, the historical dataalleging loss of vehicle control, accidents, and injuries do not identifya safety-related defect in either the braking or suspension system of thesubject vehicles.======

Just to let you know for your data base that these tires were purchased after market, so ford had nothing to do with it. One tire rolled the tread right off, separating right under the steel belt. But the tire held air. It happened on a mountain road, at about 85 degrees. I used the other 3 tires until they had about 50,000 miles on them without any other problems.
