- Notes
- Ford campaign no 183.POSSIBILITY that the exhaust system muffler thatincorporates an integral, solid, closed-end brush shield may experience mufflerfailure due to excessive heat build-up.the typical location of failure inmuffler allows high temperature exhaust gases to be directed against the floorpan in such a manner that could result in heat damage to an optional auxiliarypolyethylene auxiliary fuel tank and adjacent fuel hose, wiring harness,auxiliary fuel tank hose and front inboard seat belt assemblies.if thiscondition exists and the insulation is missing from the wiring harness, itcould provide a nearby source of ignition should fuel spillage occurs due tothermal damage to auxiliary fuel tank.(correct by inpsecting and installingmufflers where necessary and repalce or repair fuel tank, wiring harness andseat belt components).

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
