Taurus V8-3.4L VIN N SHO (1996)
Fuel Pressure Regulator: Recalls
Recall 96V151000: Fuel Pressure Regulator Leakage
The fuel pressure regulator located on the fuel rail in the engine compartment has a vacuum diaphragm that was damaged during manufacture of the
regulator.
If the diaphragm tears or ruptures, liquid fuel could enter the intake manifold plenum through the vacuum line resulting in either release of fuel from the
air cleaner assembly or the exhaust system. Fuel release in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.
Dealers will inspect the fuel pressure regulator. Those regulators produced during the suspect time period will be replaced.
Owner Notification: Owner notification is expected to begin September 9, 1996.

time, should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at
