1990 FORD B600 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1990 Ford B600 has two recalls, the most serious involving an electrical fault on diesel-equipped school bus chassis where the battery system can cause engine shutdown, loss of power steering assist, or loss of hydraulic brake boost, reducing the driver's ability to steer or stop. The second recall involves the steering gear, where a snap ring can fracture and progressively damage internal components, making it harder to turn the vehicle to the right. On vehicles built after February 1988, a faulty seal in the steering gear also allows internal fluid leakage, which can further degrade steering performance over time.
