Contour L4-122 2.0L CNG DOHC VIN Z SFI (1996)
Radiator Cooling Fan Motor: Recalls
Recall 00V367000: Cooling Fan Motor Overheating
Passenger vehicles equipped with the 2.5 V6 engine. 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.
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.
Dealers will install a Positive Temperature Coefficient device in-line with each fan motor.
Owner notification is expected to begin during December 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date
and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
