1996 MERCURY SABLE Recalls (5)
- Campaign:
- 96V016000 on 01/29/1996
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake warning
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1995 - 08/31/1995
- Affected:
- 76,500
- Defect:
- The brake system fluid level indicator lamp switch can malfunction. this does not comply with fmvss no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."
- Consequence:
- Consequence of non-compliance: if the switch malfuntions, the brake system warning lamp will either remain illuminated continuously or fail to light as intended when the fluid level falls to a certain level. in either case, the vehicle operator would not be warned of a low brake fluid level condition.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the brake system fluid level indicator lamp switches.
- Notes:
- System: brakes; hydraulic; switch; brake warning; fmvss no. 105.vehicle description: passenger vehicles. note: 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. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 96V086000 on 05/16/1996
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1995 - 09/30/1995
- Affected:
- 100,000
- Defect:
- The park pawl shaft was improperly positioned when the roll pin that retains it was installed during transmission assembly. if the shaft was not properly positioned, the roll pin may not have lined up with the groove in the shaft and have been crushed at assembly. also, a burr could have been raised on the shaft.
- Consequence:
- This could result in the park pawl occasionally not engaging when the transmission selector lever is placed in the park position. this could result in the vehicle rolling as if in neutral if the vehicle operator does not apply the parking brake.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the park pawl shaft roll pin. if the roll pin is damaged, both the roll pin and the park pawl shaft will be replaced. in addition, owners will be reminded to fully apply the parking brake, in addition to placing the transmission in park.
- Notes:
- System: power train; transmission; automatic. vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini-vans equipped with ford ax4s automatic transaxles. note: owner notification is expected to begin in mid-june 1996. note: 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. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 96V166000 on 09/22/1996
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1996 - 08/27/1996
- Affected:
- 40,000
- Defect:
- The park pawl abutment bracket has a sharp edge which can cause the parking pawl to hang up and not engage the park gear. this would allow the vehicle to move even though the gear shift indicator shows that the vehicle is in park.
- Consequence:
- Unintended and unexpected vehicle movement can result in personal injury and property damage.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park pawl abutment bracket.
- Notes:
- Owner notification:owner notification is expected to begin september 23, 1996.note: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.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 96V176000 on 09/25/1996
- Component:
- Power train:automatic transmission
- Manufactured:
- 04/06/1995 - 08/15/1996
- Affected:
- 340,000
- Defect:
- The automatic transmission park pawl shaft may not be free to rotate as intended. if the park pawl shaft does not rotate, it would prevent the park pawl from engaging the park gear when the shift lever is in the park position.
- Consequence:
- This condition could result in the vehicle rolling as if in neutral with the shift lever in the park position.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the park pawl shaft rotation and those shafts with restricted rotation will be replaced with a shorter shaft that will not restrict rotation.
- Notes:
- Owner notification:owner notification is expected to being september 30, 1996. note: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.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 98V067000 on 03/26/1998
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
- Affected:
- 400
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles previously serviced under ford service bulletin 97-17-9 from august 1997 through december 1997. these vehicles were inadvertenly equipped with an 18-gallon fuel tank rather than the 16-gallon as specified. the 18-gallon tank has a second valve location where a shipping plug should be installed.
- Consequence:
- If this shipping plug is displaced, fuel leakage can result. fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install the correct fuel tank.
- Notes:
- Owner notification began june 17, 1998.owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
