The 1995 Ford Econoline has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel line that can wear through where the parking brake cable rubs against it, leaking fuel that can ignite and cause a fire.
The second recall involves the same parking brake cable system: the front cables were made longer than specified, which reduces the parking brake's holding ability on steep grades and may not provide enough braking force to keep the van stationary.
