Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IF THE BRAKE LINE WEARS THROUGH, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, AFFECTING THE CAPABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: COMPRESSOR MOUNT KITS, PART NOS. 4011666-01, 4011666-02, AND 4011666-03, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MARCH 20, 1998, AND MARCH 20, 2001, EQUIPPED ONLY ON FORD 7.3L DIESEL ENGINES.

DEPENDING ON THE ROUTING OF THE VEHICLE BRAKE LINE, THE LINE COULD RUB AGAINST THE BELT GUARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE COMPRESSOR MOUNT WELDMENT AND POSSIBLY WEAR THROUGH.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
