Known Recall Investigations
Air brake reservoir investigation # RQ98014
On october 3, 1997, ford conducted a safety recall on 575 1994 l-series trucks built at the kentucky truck plant from august 21, 1993 through september 1, 1993 for the safety defect as described above.On december 6, 1997, the air tank in the 1995 ford lnt 8000 truck ruptured along the weld seam, similar to the failure mode described in safety recall 97v-150.As a result of the air tank rupture the driver was seriously injured from the explosion that sent metal shrapnel through the floor and into the cab, as well as piercing the fuel tank.The brakes also locked due to the sudden loss of air pressure causing the truck to skid to a halt on the interstate.This truck is outside of the scope of the recall97v-150.The purpose of this rq is to determine whether the recall 97v-150 should expand its scope to include the trucks with similar defective air tank.
