The 1979 Ford LTD has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the front brake hoses on vehicles with 6.5-inch wheel rims, where the hose can contact a tire or wheel during a full turn and rupture, causing loss of front braking.
On vehicles with the 5.0-litre or 5.8-litre V8 engines, one or more blades on the engine cooling fan may not be properly secured and can break free from the fan hub while the engine is running, sending metal fragments into the engine bay. The third recall affects vehicles with optional luxury interior trim packages, though the available filing does not include enough detail to describe the defect or its consequences.
