Manufacturer:
FORD MOTOR COMPANY		 NHTSA ID:
02V266000		 Recall Date:
October 2nd, 2002		 Units Affected:
369,614

Affected Component: Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages.

Summary: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with adjustable padels are being recalled in order to adjust the brake and accelerator pedals to a minimum of 50 mm of lateral separation. Simultaneous application of both the brake and accelerator pedals could result in an increase in engine rpm. .

Conequence: This could result in a customer experiencing an "unintended vehicle speed increase" or a perceived "unable to stop" condition. .

Remedy: Owners will be instructed as to the proper way to set the position of the pedals and to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the spacing between the brake and accelerator pedals measured. If the spacing is found to be less than 50 mm, the dealer will adjust the pedals to increase the distance between them to greater than 50 mm. Owner notification began october 28, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-866-436-7332. .

Notes: Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236). .

March 10th, 2003		 Units Affected:
67,894

Affected Component: Visibility:windshield.

Summary: Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 212, "windshield mounting. " the windshields may potentially exhibit increased wind noise, water leakage, and squeaks and rattles. .

Conequence: Potential loss of windshield retention may also reduce occupant protection in the event of a crash. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace these windshields. Owner notification began on march 31, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford/mercury at 1-800-392-3673. .

Manufacturer:
FORD MOTOR COMPANY		 NHTSA ID:
04V106000		 Recall Date:
March 2nd, 2004		 Units Affected:
938,789

Affected Component: Exterior lighting:brake lights:switch.

Summary: Certain passenger vehicles are being recalled to correct a problem with a malfunctioning stop lamp switch and/or associated wiring. This malfunctioning could render the stop lamps inoperable or cause them to stay on all the time. This could cause confusion to a following driver, which could lead to a crash. .

Conequence: In addition, if the switch and/or associated wiring fail in the open position, the brake lights will not actuate and the driver will not be able to shift the vehicle out of "park" if they fail in the closed position, the brake lights will remain on, which will not allow the speed control to be activated. This could also cause the battery to discharge. .

Remedy: Dealers will remove the stop lamp switch and associated wiring assembly and install a newly designed stop lamp switch and wire assembly. Owner notification is expected to begin on april 5, 2004. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. .

Notes: Ford recall no. 04s12. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236). .
