The problem
Ford is recalling model years 2009 f-650 and f-750 trucks. The chassis wire harness May have been assembled without a connector seal if this seal is missing, the connector terminals May corrode affecting the proper illumination of the vehicle's rear brake lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps or trailer lamps (if equipped.) also, the function of the anti-lock brake system May be affected.
The risk
Inoperative lamps May increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the connector and repair the main and rear chassis wire harness if necessary. A missing seal will be replaced and electrical grease applied to prevent future corrosion. The safety recall began on December 16, 2009. Owners May contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or through the internet at www.fordowner.com.
