Known issues on the 1995 F-250. Four recalls are on federal record for 1995. Two concern the speed control deactivation switch, which can overheat, smoke or burn and start an underhood fire; one is the power lumbar harness under the driver's seat, where the support wires can damage its insulation and set up a short; the fourth covers aftermarket replacement lamps without amber side reflectors. Owners have filed 204 complaints with NHTSA, and the service brakes draw 44 of them, the engine and cooling 32 and the power train 28. Brake, cooling, driveline and speed control procedures, specifications and wiring diagrams in the manual cover those systems.
