The 1986 Ford CF Series has 2 recalls, both involving the brakes, with the more serious being parking brake rollers that can fracture without warning when the brake is applied, reducing the vehicle's ability to hold position.
The second recall covers CF6000, CF7000, and CF8000 models where the low air pressure warning system may not activate the buzzers and lights when brake system pressure drops below 60 psi, leaving the driver without any alert that the air brakes have insufficient pressure to operate safely.
