This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of Canada.
Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited (Ford) has determined that a condition which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1986-1988 2.9 L
Ranger/Bronco II and 1986-1989 3.0 L Taurus and Sable vehicles in specific areas of Canada where there are extremely corrosive conditions. Our
records indicate that you own the 19xx (vehicle) with the serial number shown above your name and address on this letter.
Reason For Recall
The throttle could remain in an open position, after the driver releases the accelerator pedal, due to linkage binding resulting from severe corrosion. If
this condition should occur, the engine would continue to run at a faster-than-idle speed. This could potentially affect the driver's control of the vehicle
and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Repairs
In August 1990 Ford informed you of the above concern and offered a temporary service procedure that would be effective for at least 12 months. Ford
also advised you that when a permanent modification became available you would again be notified. This letter is to advise you that Ford's permanent
modification is now available and should be performed on your vehicle.
