2010 FORD RANGER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2010 Ranger vehicles with manual transmissions that were manufactured between June 8, 2009 and February 2, 2010. In these vehicles, the parking brake cable can become disconnected from the right rear actuator during cold weather, particularly when wet parking brake shoes have frozen in the applied position and the parking brake is released. If this disconnection occurs, the parking brake pedal will have extended travel and may not fully apply the parking brake, creating a risk that a vehicle parked in neutral without a fully applied parking brake could have unintended movement and cause a crash.
Ford dealers will install a revised right rear parking brake actuator to prevent cable disconnection at no charge to owners. The recall began on May 21, 2010. Affected consumers should contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule the repair.
