3 recalls across 1 model year
The Ford F-100 has 3 recalls, all affecting the 1978 model year, with the most serious involving 15x6 inch steel wheels where tooling marks in the rim bead seat area can cause the rim to split at higher mileage, producing a rapid loss of tire pressure similar to a blowout.
On 1978 four-wheel-drive models, the driver-side upper seatbelt shoulder harness retractor bracket was improperly modified during assembly and may not hold under crash forces, reducing the belt's ability to restrain the driver in a collision. The 1978 model year also has an evaporative emission purge valve that can become disconnected, allowing a small amount of fuel vapor to escape into the atmosphere.
