1988 FORD RANGER -- Trucks were built with incorrect rear brake assemblies. Consequence of defect: A tendency for rear brake lockup would exist particularly during heavy brake applicaion with a lightly loaded truck. Also, increased stopping distance would be required if the brake modulation (pumping the brakes) is used to control the vehicle during a hard brake stop.

Replace rear brake assemblies. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #87V141000 »
