Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada recall 1990003 · manufacturer campaign 89S76

2 January 1990

Transport Canada lists: Bronco 1986–1989 · F Series 1986–1989

What is wrong

NOTE: THIS RECALL SUPERSEDES RECALL 88164. VEHICLES LOCATED IN THE YUKON, NOTHWEST TERRITORIES, ALBERTA, EASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, N.W. ONTARIO, MANITOBA AND SASKATCHEWAN. A SHORT, U-SHAPED NYLON FUEL TUBE (JUMPER TUBE) LOCATED ON THE LEFT-HAND FRAME RAIL CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILTER COULD DEVELOP PIN HOLES IN THE TUBING WALL. IF THIS CONDITION SHOULD OCCUR, IT WOULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND A FIRE COULD RESULT.

What the dealer will do

A STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON FUEL SUPPLY LINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL GROUND THE FUEL LINE AND ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE. THE U-SHAPED NYLON JUMPER TUBE WILL BE ELIMINATED BY THIS REPLACEMENT FUEL SYSTEM.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
