NEWS:
Ford recalls over
225,000 cars
DETROIT (Reuters) -
Wed Nov 16, 2005 -
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.
This could cause a
fuel leak and result
in a fire in these
vehicles, according
to the Highway
Traffic Safety
Administration.
The automaker is
recalling 98,444
Crown Victoria,
Lincoln Town Car and
Mercury Grand
Marquis sedans
because on certain
vehicles the battery
cable may scrape on
an attaching bolt
and could lead to a
fire.
The recall comes as
Ford is trying to
stem steep losses in
its North American
division and to
improve the overall
quality of its
products. It also
follows a
high-profile recall
of some of its
best-selling pickup
trucks and sport
utility vehicles.
Ford recalled nearly
4 million vehicles
in September because
of the risk of
engine fires.
