Known issues on the 1990 E-350 Econoline. Two recalls are on federal record for the 1990 van. One describes the dual tank selector valve malfunctioning and causing fuel to overflow past the filler cap; the other covers the snap ring locating the park gear on the transmission output shaft, which could fracture and let the vehicle roll when parked without the parking brake set. Owners have filed twenty-six complaints with NHTSA, more than half of them about the service brakes, with the structure and the fuel system next. Brake, transmission and fuel storage procedures carry the weight here.
