The 1984 Ford Econoline has two recalls, the more serious being a carburetor throttle shaft that can stick partially open after the driver lifts off the accelerator, preventing the engine from returning to idle and extending stopping distances.
The second recall applies only to vehicles equipped with a 5.8-litre engine and automatic transmission, which may not meet Canadian exhaust emissions standards.
