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 certain 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti cars in areas of Canada in which severe low
temperature, low humidity winter weather is experienced may develop leaks in a fuel line. Our records indicate you own the 198X Merkur XR4Ti
bearing the serial number shown above your name.
Reason For Recall
A short fuel supply tube, located beneath the vehicle on the driver's side, could develop a pin hole in the tubing wall. If this condition occurs, fuel will
leak and a fire could result.
Repairs
At no cost to you, your dealer will replace this fuel supply tube with one of a different material. A new fuel filter and some adjoining fuel line parts will
also be installed.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed to repair your vehicle is less than one hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for a full day.
Call Your Dealer
Call your dealer without delay and ask for a service date. Also ask your dealer to check the CARES / OASIS systems for any outstanding recalls. Your
dealer has the service and parts ordering information needed to repair your vehicle. If parts are not in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your
service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week.
When you bring your vehicle in, show the dealer this letter. If you lose the letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.
Changed Name, Address, Or Sold The Vehicle?
If you have changed your name or address, or have sold the vehicle, please fill out the enclosed prepaid postcard and mail it to Ford.
