3 recalls across 2 model years
The Ford L8000 has 3 recalls covering the 1990 and 1993 model years, with the most serious being a brake air check valve defect on 1990 models where the valve fails to seat correctly, allowing pressure to equalize between brake reservoirs and potentially causing partial or complete loss of braking. The 1993 model year has a separate wheel assembly issue where incorrectly sized clamps attach the rim and tire to the wheel spokes, causing the attachment studs to bend under load, which can compromise the integrity of the wheel assembly. The 1990 model year also has a compliance recall related to tire and rim selection standards, though no specific injury risk was identified in that filing.
