1979 FORD CLUB WAGON Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1979 Ford Club Wagon has 3 recalls, the most serious involving certain wheel assemblies where cracked rims can cause air loss and a sudden tire blowout while driving. Two other issues round out the list. On vehicles with the 300 or 460 cubic inch engines, some were built without required heat shields under the rear floor mats, which can expose the floor to excessive heat from below. On vehicles with the C-6 automatic transmission, the parking gear's actuating rod can deform over time, making the shift lever stiff and difficult to move, and potentially preventing the transmission from locking into Park, which can allow the vehicle to roll on a slope.
