Suggested Owner Letter (Dealership Stationery)
Dear Owner:
Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1988 Escort cars.
Safety Defect
A bracket (or leg) that attaches the left front corner of the driver's seat assembly to the floor could break. This would
permit a limited degree of rocking motion of the driver's seat, particularly upon acceleration or deceleration of the car.
Breakage of the bracket could, potentially, affect the driver's control of the car and result in a vehicle crash.
Repairs
At no cost to you, we will modify or replace the driver's outer seat track on your car.
Refund
We will also give you a refund if you have already paid to have the driver's outer seat track repaired or replaced due to
cracks. For this refund, you must give us your paid repair order or parts purchase receipt as proof of the previous repair.
Call your
dealer
Call us without delay and ask for a service date and if parts are in stock.
We have the service information needed to repair your car. If we do not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered
before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive in approximately a week.
When you bring your car in, give the Service Department the enclosed form. If you misplace the form, we will still do the
work, free of charge.
Changed address
If you have, please fill out Section 1 of the enclosed or sold the car? prepaid postcard and mail it to the addressee.
We regret the inconvenience this service may cause you, but we want you to have the work done for your safety and satisfaction with your Ford-built car.
