Ford recalls over 225,000 cars
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051116/...ford_recall_dc
DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. said on Wednesday it is recalling more than 225,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada, including its flagship Ford Five Hundred sedan and Freestyle wagon, because of fire risks. Vehicles involved in the recall are from the 2005 model year and include the Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, Mercury Grand Marquis and Montego sedans, Ford spokeswoman Kristen Kinley said. Ford is recalling 127,493 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego sedans and Freestyle wagons because the straps that secure the fuel tank to the vehicle body may break, causing the fuel tank and fuel tank heat shield to drop onto the driveshaft or exhaust system, the automaker and U.S. safety regulators said. |

Re: Ford recalls over 225,000 cars
Awwwww, not again. Ford really needs to figure this out because this is not going to be good when the first thing people think about after hearing or seeing the Ford name is "fire". They need to get their act together, and quickly.
Could someone please post a link to the site that lists all vehicle recalls? EDIT : Found it. Last edited by ElmerMCR : 11-16-2005 at 11:26 AM. |

Re: Ford recalls over 225,000 cars
I hate to see Ford loosing $$/marketshare along with GM. If GM cant survive on its own i sure hope atleast Ford can

Re: Ford recalls over 225,000 cars
Ford doesnt need this problem, they are in bad financial shape too. These are suppost to be the new great sales leading passenger vehicles at ford, they dont need problems like this to bring them down.
