600 Escorts recalled

1995 FORD ESCORT -- Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles equipped with 1.9L engines, built at the hermosillo assembly plant and originally sold or currently registered in Arizona. Cracks can develop in the fuel tank near the heat shield attachment resulting in fuel leakage if the cracks go through the fuel tank wall.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire.

Dealers will remove the heat shield attachments. This will not affect heat shield location or function, as the attachments are intended to keep the shield in place until the fuel tank is installed in the vehicle. After installation, the fuel tank straps retain the heat shield. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #97V145000 »

NHTSA Recall #94V218000 AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

NOVEMBER 10
1994

240 Escorts recalled

1995 FORD ESCORT -- The driver side air bag module can have an inadequately welded inflator canister.

In the event of a collision, the weld seam can separate, causing the air bag to fail to deploy properly and hot gases to be expelled from the back of the steering wheel. This can result in an increased risk of personal injury from the hot gases and the air bag failure.

Dealers will install a new air bag module. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #94V218000 »
