Defect Summary
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary
NotesFord campaign no 165.light trucks.possibility that trucks equipped withheavy duty double piston power front disc brakes may have front brake caliperassemblies with one of the two caliper housing mounting bolts improperlytorqued during subassembly.an untorqued mounting bolt could back off inservice and result in increased brake pedal travel so that the driver would beinclined to pump the brake pedal.repeated pumping of the pedal when one endof the caliper housing remains fixed by a properly torqued bolt and the bolt onthe opposite end is loose can cause the fixed end of the housing to fractureand can result in a loss of front wheel braking.should this occur, braking ofthe vehicle would be limited to the rear brakes.(correct by inspecting andreplacing housing on units found with loose bolts).
