Engine and Engine Cooling
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: 1995 passenger vehicles equipped with the 2.0l and 2.5l engines, and 1996 vehicles equipped with 2.5l engines. Tightening of the engine cooling fan motor bearings, up to and including motor stall, can result in increased motor torque and higher than normal motor current and accompanying high motor temperatures.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Overheating of the cooling fan motor due to excessive current can result in smoke and odors from bearing grease, insulation and other internal motor components. If electrical current continues to be applied to the motor, internal motor components could ignite possibly igniting other engine compartment components.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a positive temperature coefficient device in-line with each fan motor. Ford will also extend the warranty on the engine cooling fan assembly to a total of 8 years of service or 100,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. If the vehicle already has more than 100,000 miles, this coverage will last until july 31, 2001.

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The floor shift automatic transmission control can be damaged if subjected to certain interior cleaning products. The gear position indicator can deteriorate and not correctly indicate the actual gear position.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition can result in incorrect gear selection.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the automatic transmission floor shift control.

97V225000Received . 38,000 units.
Vehicle Speed Control / Cables
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with the traction control option. The throttle cables were damaged during vehicle assembly leading to fraying or separation of the throttle cable.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition could prevent the engine from returning to idle.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the throttle cable with a revised design that is less susceptible to bending or kinking during installation.
Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
95V232000Received . 167,784 units.
Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly / Filler Pipe and Cap
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The fuel tank filler pipe opening reinforcement, constructed from two separately molded pieces, can leak at the weld.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Fuel leakage can result in a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the fuel tank assemblies with units containing one-piece molded reinforcements.
Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
95V228000Received . 229,500 units.
Seat Belts / Front / Anchorage
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Cracks have been found in the front safety belt outboard anchor tabs due to a combination of hydrogen embrittlement of the tab and stress introduced during attachment of the anchor tab to the seat frame. This does not conform with the requirements of FMVSS no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Consequence of non-compliance: a fracture or separation in this area would reduce the load that the anchor and the front safety belt anchorages could sustain, increasing the risk of injury in a vehicle collisoin.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect and install an anchor tab reinforcement or replacement of the complete front seat belt assembly if an anchor tab is found to have fractured.
Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
95V009000Received . 2,512 units.
Visibility / Windshield
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The glass tempering process on the right hand rear door windows was not correctly performed. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 205, "glazing materials."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Consequence of non-compliance: if the window breaks, the glass fragments of the rear windows exceed the size specifications of FMVSS no. 205.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the right rear door glass.
Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
94V203000Received . 28,500 units.

Report filed by FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
94V184000Received . 8,000 units.
Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly / Filler Pipe and Cap
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
A metal shield on the outside of the plastic fuel filler pipe can develop a static electrical charge during refueling of the vehicle.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A static charge can discharge and serve as an ignition source for fuel vapors in the area of the filler pipe, resulting in a flash vapor ignition and a vehicle fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, modify the vehicles by adding a ground strap between the filler pipe shield and the body.
