Recall
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID:
96V193000

Potential Number Of Units Affected:
5,000

Summary:
The battery cable harness has inadequate protection from contact with the right engine mount. Cable insulation could wear through.

Consequence:
If the battery cable or starter wire insulation is damaged by such contact, a short to ground can occur, resulting in overheating of the wiring and possible ignition of surrounding components.

Remedy:
Dealers will inspect for chafing of the cable and will add insulation and a tie strap to the battery cable harness.

Notes:
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 1-800-392-3673.

Dates of Manufacture:
June - September 1996

Manufacturer Recall Number:
