AFFECTED VEHICLES
The 3.0L engine and manual transmission equipped Taurus SHO cars are affected by this program. See illustration.
NOTE:
Most of these vehicles are also involved in Owner Notification Program 93B18. Check OASIS. Dealers are to complete both owner notification
programs, if applicable, before releasing the vehicle.
REASONS FOR THIS PROGRAM
We have found that the coolant recovery bottle on some of these cars may develop cracks, resulting in coolant loss. Loss of coolant leads to engine
overheating. Continued engine operation while ignoring warning symptoms (engine warning light, low coolant sensor warning, hot temperature
indication) could lead to engine damage.
SERVICE ACTION
To correct this condition, the coolant recovery bottle will be inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
REFUNDS
Only for owner-paid repairs made before date of Owner Letter.
