The 1984 Ford L Series has 2 recalls, the more serious being a hydraulic parking brake control valve that can activate on its own, locking the rear axle brakes without warning and raising the risk of losing control, particularly on slippery or loose road surfaces.
The second recall is a compliance issue affecting L9000 models: optional hand throttle controls were not labeled with any identifying markings, leaving the driver without guidance on what the controls do.
