Dear Owner:
This notice is sent to you by the Ford Motor Company because we want the emission control systems on all of our products to work properly. We have
found that some 1984-model year Thunderbird, Cougar, LTD and Marquis vehicles which have the 3.8L engine and automatic transmission may require
modification to help assure acceptable levels of exhaust control and to improve fuel economy. Our records indicate that you own one of these vehicles
which is identified by the serial number shown on the enclosed form.

Ford is voluntarily recalling your vehicle to inspect and, if necessary, replace the exhaust air supply control valve. This service will be performed at no
charge to you.
