SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
CHECKED PAST RECALL INFORMATION ON SAID BRAKE MODULE. FORD HAD RUN A RECALL TITLED "94B38" THAT SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS COMPONENT ; BUT RECALL EXPIRED BEFORE I EVER OWNED THIS TRUCK. THE RECALL WAS GOOD UNTIL JUNE 30 1997, AND WAS UNEFFECTED BY VEHICLE MILEAGE. ALL I NEED IS FORD TO REPLACE THEIR RECALLED AND DEFECTIVE BRAKE MODULE. I BELIEVE THIS MODULE RENDERED THE REAR BRAKES INOPERATIVE, THEREBY DECREASING BRAKING ABILITY.*AK
