3 recalls across 2 model years
The Ford CF Series has 3 recalls covering 1986 and 1987 model years, with the most serious being a steering gear defect on 1987 CF6000, CF7000, and CF8000 models where an out-of-tolerance internal component can make steering progressively harder and cause the steering gear to seize completely during slow, sharp turns.
The 1986 CF6000 and CF7000 have two brake-related recalls. Parking brake rollers can be brittle and fracture without warning when the parking brake is applied, reducing the brake's ability to hold the vehicle. Separately, the air brake system on 1986 CF6000, CF7000, and CF8000 models can fail to trigger the low air pressure warning buzzers and lights when reservoir pressure drops below 60 psi, leaving the driver without a warning that braking capacity is reduced.
