your car to the dealer. The dealer will place the decal on your car after servicing the emission control system.
If the dealer cannot answer any questions you have regarding this recall service, you may contact the nearest Ford Parts and Service Division District
Office whose address is shown in your Owner Guide.

Dear Owner:
Ford Motor Company is voluntarily recalling some 1982-model California cars equipped with certain 1.6 liter engines. Our records show that you own
one of these cars. Your car's engine may be releasing air pollutants which exceed California standards.
Please contact a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer in your area to arrange for this recall service. The dealer will modify your car's emission control system
at no charge to you. This service should have little or no effect on your car except to reduce the air pollutants released by the emission control system.
The time required for this service is about one hour. If you do not have this service done, your emission warranty may be reduced. Also, your car may
not pass emission tests that are required in your area.
When you call your dealer for this service, ask for a computer check on the "CARES" or the "OASIS" systems to see if your car needs other recall work.
If it does, the dealer can tell you about the required service.
Your car's identification number is shown on the enclosed form. Please detach the postcard on the cover sheet of the form. Complete any of the sections
that may apply to you and mail the postcard to us. Please give the rest of the form to your dealer at the time of service. If you lose the form, the dealer
will still service your car at no charge to you.
