Known issues on the 1992 E-250 Econoline. Five recalls are on federal record. Ford's own campaign put a speed control fuse in the output circuit instead of the intended power feed, so it may not protect as designed. Another concerns a fuel filler or vent hose damaged by a drill bit during assembly, which could leak while the van is being fueled. A third covers tire certification labels naming a standard load tire where an extra load tire is required. Owners have logged 270 complaints with NHTSA, clustering on the service brakes, speed control and engine cooling. All three are covered by the manual's procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.
