1994 MERCURY TOPAZ Recall
- Campaign:
- 97V019000 on 02/25/1997
- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling:cooling system:fan
- Manufactured:
- 07/21/1991 - 11/17/1994
- Affected:
- 75,200
- Defect:
- These vehicles are originally sold or currently registered in the following states: alaska, iowa, minnesota, nebraska, north dakota, and south dakota. the vehicles involved are 1992-1994 tempo/topaz vehicles with 3.0l engines; 1994 tempo/topaz with 2.3l engines; 1992-1995 taurus/sable with 3.8l engines; 1994-1995 taurus/sable with 3.0l engines and 1992-1994 lincoln continental vehicles with 3.8l engines. during high winds, heavy, blowing and drifting snow, and low temperatures, the engine cooling fan can become blocked or frozen with snow. the fan motor may not rotate and could overheat.
- Consequence:
