Default Recalls

i was looking on prgressives website and i came across some recall notices and just figured id add them just in case you guys havent seen them or were interestedRecall notices for 1995, ford mustang

Year : 1995
Vehicle Make : FORD
Vehicle Model : MUSTANG NHTSA Campaign Number : 00V349000Summary :
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. If a vehicle is parked with the parking brake not fully applied and not in first gear, as directed in the Owner Guide, and the self adjustment pawl subsequently skips one or two teeth, the vehicle could move on some grades.
Possible Consequences :
This could result in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Corrective Action :
Dealers will modify the parking brake control and install a plate or over-bracket to the control to lock the self adjust mechanism in position following adjustment.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 01I011000Summary :
This is not a safety recall in accordance with the Safety Act. However, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. Vehicle Description: 1995 Taurus/Sable passenger vehicles equipped with 3.0L and 3.8L engines and 1995 Ford Mustang vehicles with 3.8L and 5.0L engines. It is possible for the engine cooling fan bearing to seize.
Possible Consequences :
Should this occur, excessive heat could be generated which could melt the fan motor electrical connector. Components inside the cooling fan motor could ignite potentially resulting in an underhood fire.
Corrective Action :
Dealers will replace the engine cooling fan motor assembly at no charge to consumers. Ford is extending the limited warranty on the engine cooling fan motor to a total of 8 years or 100,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. This coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners at no charge. If the vehicle already has more than 100,000 miles, this coverage will last until June 30, 2002. If the consumer has paid to have this service done before December 2001, Ford is offering a refund. Owners can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332, concerning this program.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 01V318000Summary :
Equipment Description: Passenger vehicles that have had the driver's air bag module replaced after April 5, 2000. The replacement driver's air bag module inflator may have insufficient welds that could prevent proper inflation of the air bag.
Possible Consequences :
In the event of a crash, the driver's air bag may not properly deploy which could potentially result in less than the intended level of occupant protection.
Corrective Action :
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver's air bag module. Owner notification began October 5, 2001. 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 at 1-866-436-7332.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 01V390000Summary :
Vehicle Description: Taurus/Sable vehicles equipped with 3.0L and 3.8L engines and Mustang vehicles with 3.8L and 5.0L engines. It is possible for the engine cooling fan bearing to seize.
Possible Consequences :
Should this occur, excessive heat could be generated which could melt the fan motor electrical connector. Components inside the cooling fan motor could ignite potentially resulting in an underhood fire.
Corrective Action :
Dealers will inspect the engine cooling fan assembly and install a circuit breaker. If the cooling fan is inoperative, the fan and motor assembly will be replaced. Owner notification began December 28, 2001. 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 at 1-866-436-7332.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 95E006002Summary :
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS AN INFLATOR BODY THAT CRACKED DURING FORMING OF THE CURL THAT RETAINS THE IGNITER PLUG IN THE END OF THE INFLATOR. ALSO THE IGNITER END CAP CAN SEPARATE FROM THE INFLATOR.
Possible Consequences :
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MAY NOT INFLATE PROPERLY RESULTING IN REDUCED OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. IF THE IGNITER END CAP SEPARATES IN A FRONTAL COLLISION, HOT GASES CAN BE RELEASED AND IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL OR CAUSE BURN INJURIES.
Corrective Action :
DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 95V134000Summary :
THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH OUTER TIE ROD ENDS WITH INCORRECT TAPER BALL STUDS. THE INCORRECT TAPERED BALL STUDS CAN FRACTURE WITHIN 50,000 MILES.
Possible Consequences :
A FRACTURED BALL STUD CAN RESULT IN A NOTICEABLE SHAKE OR SHIMMY AND COULD CAUSE THE AFFECTED WHEEL TO TUCK INWARD OR OUTWARD, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Corrective Action :
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND REPLACE THE INCORRECTLY TAPERED BALL STUDS.


NHTSA Campaign Number : 97V180000Summary :
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles and mini vans. Tearing of the bond between the inner and outer hood panels during minor front end collisions can result in a gap at the leading edge of the hood. Air forced between the inner and outer panels can produce enough pressure to force the outer panel upward.
Possible Consequences :
This condition can result in total separation of the outer hood panel.
Corrective Action :
Dealers will inspect the hood area for any damage along the leading edge of the hood. If there is any evidence of bond separation, the hood will be replaced. If there is no evidence of bond separation, additional adhesive will be applied between the inner and outer hood panels.

I still haven't taken mine in for the fan bearing recall. I am hesitant because I have heard horror stories of 3.8L breakers installed on 5.0s and shoddy wiring, ect.

Ford keeps sending me letters. I figure I'll have to find a small town Ford dealer and make sure the work is done up to snuff. My engine compartment is factory fresh and I would like to keep it that way.

Any suggestions?
