FSA 93B35 Starter Solenoid Inspection & Possible Replacement
Check
the Ford website &/or
the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.
1992 / 1993 F-Series Trucks (equipped with 4.9, 5.8, or 7.5L engines) & Certain 1992 Broncos (4.9L engine) All Equipped with Manual Transmissions - Starter Solenoid Inspection & Possible Replacement
Note that this is a safety recall, and any included vehicle will be repaired free, no matter how old it is, how long the owner waits to present it for repair, or how many times it has been sold.
Ford Motor Company is providing a no-charge Service Program to owners of certain 1992 Broncos and 1992 and 1993 F-Series Trucks to inspect the starter assembly, and, if necessary, replace the starter solenoid.
Reason For This Program
The starter solenoid may continue to keep the starter engaged after the ignition key is returned from the "start" position. This may result in overheating of the starter as it continues to run with the engine. The starter typically will not crank on subsequent attempts, causing a "No-Start" condition.
No Charge Service
At no charge to you, your dealer will inspect the starter and, if necessary, replace the starter solenoid. This program is available through 36 month / 36,000 mile Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, or through December 31, 1994, whichever provides greater coverage.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is one (1) hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your truck for one full working day. Call your dealer and ask for a service date and if parts are in stock. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week. When you bring your truck in, give the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.
Refunds
If you paid to have this service done before the date of this letter, Ford is offering a full refund. For the refund, please show your paid work-order to your Ford dealer.
Affected Vehicles: 1992-93 F-Series / Bronco Trucks
