Most recent first. Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. Click a recall for the full defect, consequence and remedy text.

1. Ignition (electrical system)

   NHTSA 96V071000 Reported April 25, 1996 7,900,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

   The ignition switch could experience an internal short circuit.

   Remedy: Dealers will replace the ignition switch.

2. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)

   NHTSA 94V040000 Reported February 23, 1994 89,770 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

   The steel fuel return tubes that connect the frame fuel return lines with the engine fuel rail can contact the pinch weld flange connecting the dash panel to the floor pan. Continued contact leads to abrasion of the steel fuel return tube and eventually results in a fuel leak.

   Remedy: Ford dealers will replace the fuel return tubes with flexible stainless steel braided/teflon tubes. Dealers will also inspect the fuel supply tubes.

3. Tank assembly (fuel system)

   NHTSA 93V125000 Reported August 2, 1993 1,131,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

   A malfunctioning check valve within the fuel pump assembly causes a portion of the unused fuel from one tank to be returned to the second tank. When this occurs, the capacity of the second tank can be exceeded, causing fuel spillage.

   Remedy: Replacement of the fuel pressure regulator and installation of redundant check valves.

4. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

   NHTSA 93V066000 Reported April 27, 1993 2,419 vehicles potentially affected FAIRMONT TAMPER

   Keys attached to the key ring of an ignition key while it is in the vehicle ignition can become lodged in the steering lock receiver as the steering wheel is being turned.

   Remedy: A shield will be positioned between the steering wheel and the ignition switch and held in place by the steering lock band.

5. Shoes/linings (service brakes)

   NHTSA 92V026000 Reported March 3, 1992 467,000 vehicles potentially affected FORD MOTOR COMPANY

   A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions.

   Remedy: Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7.5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines.
