Manual parking brake recall - DIY?

[GTamas]

Hi,
I read about this recall of the conventional parking brake:

1994 Ford Mustang Recall for Parking Brake, Conventional Problem #00V349000

Official Recall for 1994 FORD MUSTANG RECALL for PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL problem. Campaign #00V349000

www.arfc.org

I guess it was never fixed on my Stang because it left the US somewhere in 94-95 and I guess the European dealers didn't follow US recalls.
They write something about installing a plate or overbracket. Do you know what needs to be fixed and is it something I could do myself? What parts are needed?
Any help would be appreciated! :⁠-⁠)

If it's the same as my 99, it's a little part that goes over the ratchet pawl in the self-adjuster, to make it not self-adjusting. Major pain to get to, including removing the console. Others undoubtedly know more about what issue can happen without it, but if it's not a problem for you now I personally wouldn't worry about doing it till you need to. I've considered leaving mine off the several times I've needed to go in and mess with it.

to be honest here i never had my recall done for the parking brake
on my 95 gt and im not real worried about it . it works
why fix it if its not broken

Thank you both! I don't have problems with the brake (yet?). I was thinking about it for precaution, but it seems it's not necessarily needed.

The recall adds this part to lock the self-adjuster. It can be installed fairly easily DIY if you want.

Part number 1R3Z-2A753-BA
