Defect Summary	System: electrical system; battery. vehicle description: medium duty school bus chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes, tilt hoods, 5.9l, 6.6l or 7.6l diesel engines or 6.1l or 7.0l gasoline engines and originally sold or currently registered in connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania ,rhode island, vermont, and wisconsin. the battery power junction block mounted on the right fender apron, which serves as an electrical connection point for several engine compartment systems, is susceptible to road splash. the terminals at the junction block can experience corrosion and can fracture, causing loss of electrical power and engine shutdown.
Consequence Summary	Engine shutdown, loss of power steering assist, or loss of hydraulic brake boost can occur which may result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Corrective Summary	Dealers will replace the junction box, main power terminal the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing junction block. the wiring of the hydraulic brake circuit will also be modified by bypassing the junction block. the new terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.

STEERING - RACK AND PINION
94V118000	FORD MOTOR COMPANY	from 11/01/1987 to 09/01/1992	V (Vehicle)	12700	09/09/1994	ODI	FORD MOTOR COMPANY	06/27/1994	06/29/1994
Defect Summary	The steering gears have an improperly machined snap ring groove. this can cause a fracture of the snap ring with subsequent damage to the recirculating ball guide tube. also, the o-ring seal in vehicles built after february 1988 does not meet specifications and is inadequate, causing interior leakage around the o-ring / glide ring seal in the steering gear.
Consequence Summary	The fracture of the snap ring results in increasing deterioration of the ability to turn the vehicle to the right. the driver would experience increased steering efforts or a crunchy feeling at the steering wheel. the inadequate o-ring seal causes momentary reductions in power steering assist at low speed and certain left turn maneuvers. both conditions result in decreased steering ability.
Corrective Summary	Dealers will rebuild the steering gear. if a broken snap ring is found during rebuilding, the steering gear will be replaced with a remanufactured unit.
Notes	System: steering: gear: rack and pinion.vehicle description: school bus chassis.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and freeof charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact the ford service center at 1-800-392-3673. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Defect Summary	The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
Consequence Summary	This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
Corrective Summary	Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.
Notes	System: fuel; throttle linkages and control.vehicle description: trucks, chassis-cabs and cowl-chassis vehicles with inline fuel injection pump equipped fd-1060 or fd-1460 engines and hand throttles.note: the vehicle brakes are capable of overriding the engine power and bringing the vehicle to a stop.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonablet ime, should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Defect Summary	As a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.
Consequence Summary	If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle is being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt. if the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Corrective Summary	The throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.
Notes	System: fuel: throttle linkages and control return spring.vehicle description: medium and heavy trucks, truck chassis, and bus chassisequipped with cummins 5.9l and 8.3l diesel engines with in-line fuel injectionpumps.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed uponservice date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and freeof charge or the remedy is does not correct the defect or noncompliance, pleasecontact the ford service center at 1-800-392-3673. also, contact the nationalhighway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
