These are Transport Canada campaigns for 1983 Ford F 800 vehicles sold in Canada. A Canadian campaign may have no US counterpart, or one under a different number covering different vehicles. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing above and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITHOUT SPECIFIED FRONT SPRING-TO-FRONT AXLE SPACES. IF VEHICLES WERE SUBJECTED TO UNUSUAL JOUNCE CONDITIONS THAT WOULD BE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE DRAG LINK TO STEERING ARM BALL JOINT COULD SEPARATE RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. DEPENDING ON THE FRONT TIRE SIZES, IT MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE UNDER CERTAIN JOUNCE CONDITIONS, FOR THE FRONT TIRES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ADJACENT COMPONENTS CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR TIRE DAMAGE.

1983 Ford F 800 recall questions
NHTSA lists 2 recalls for the 1983 Ford F 800 model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window. Transport Canada lists 1 Canadian campaign for the Canadian-market model, shown separately.
Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or Ford's own, or call a Ford dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Ford dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Ford's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Ford dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Ford so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
