Roush Performance Products, Inc. (Roush) is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Ford E-150 Wagons and Cargo Vans, E-250 Cargo Vans and Extended Cargo Vans, E-350 Wagons, Extended Wagons, Cargo Vans, and Extended Vans, and E-450 Cutaway models. These models were modified by Roush to be equipped with certain propane fuel system conversion kits manufactured January 2011 to August 2012 with an aluminum fuel line fitting. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected kits may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.
Creative Bus Sales, Inc is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Chevrolet and GMC C5500, and Ford E450, and Econoline 350 vehicles equipped with Braun wheelchair lifts. Over time, or with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier of the lifts may become bent or misaligned.
THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 FLEETWOOD JAMBOREE SPORT 25G MOTOR HOME ON FORD E450 CHASSIS. THE MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR THE PROPANE TANK CRACKED AND THE PROPANE TANK WAS CLOSE TO FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE. IF THE TANK FALLS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BREAK THE HOSE ON THE WAY OUT, LEAK HIGH PRESSURE PROPANE, BE HIT BY THE REAR TIRES AND LIKELY LEAD TO A CRASH AND FIRE. ITS OBVIOUS WITH ONE LOOK THE BRACKETS ARE POORLY ENGINEERED AND LIKELY TO FAIL WITH TIME. THE PROPANE TANK IS SUSPENDED FROM TWO SIMPLE L-SHAPED ANGLE IRON BRACKETS WITH NO GUSSETS AND NO SUPPORT OF THE FAR END OF THE BRACKETS.

VEHICLE IN MOTION GOING UP HILL. STALLED OUT BECAUSE OF FUEL FILTER PLUGGED, LOCATED IN FUEL TANK. ALMOST WAS HIT BY SEMI BECAUSE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. JULY 9, 2018. FORD NO LONGER PUTS FILTER IN TANK. MOST FUEL FILTERS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE LOCATED ON FRAME OUTSIDE OF FUEL TANK. ENGINEER'S MISTAKE? REPAIRS HAD TO BE MADE AND CHARGE WAS $1414. CONTACTED FORD COMPLAINT DIV. JULY 20. THEY HAVE NOT REPLIED OR ANSWER MY COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO, HOWEVER SEEMS AS IT HAS GONE UNNOTICED. MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED VEHICLE AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THE FILTER, DO TO OWNERS RELUCTANCE TO CHANGE FILTER ON A REGULAR BASIS, BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA COST TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO ACCESS THE FUEL FILTER AND PUMP. I AM SURE OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, BUT IGNORED IT AND HAD THEIR VEHICLE FIXED. AGAIN WITH LOSS OF POWER GOING UP A HILL AND STALLING IN FRONT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH IF ONE WOULD BE REAR ENDED. AGAIN... FORD HAS NOT CALLED OR WRITTEN WITH AN EXPLANATION OR REPLY. YOUR ATTENTION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
