TECHNICIAN:

If the new Ford filler pipes and gas caps supplied in this kit will not fit the owner's vehicle even after use of the procedures provided in the recall program letter, give this sheet and the parts to the customer and note on the inspection form that the new filler pipes could not be installed due to final-stage manufacturer modifications.


CUSTOMER:

The dealership was unable to install the new filler pipes and gas caps supplied in the recall program due to modifications made by the final-stage manufacturer of your vehicle. Please contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to arrange for installation of filler pipes that will accept the new screw-on type PREVENT (TM) gas caps supplied by Ford. If your vehicle's manufacturer is unable to assist you, Ford will have a new PREVENT (TM) type gas cap available in January, 1988 that will fit the old style FORD cam-lock filler pipes. To obtain these gas caps, fill in the tear-off section below and mail to the indicated address. The gas caps will be mailed to you at no charge as soon as they are available.

Refer to "The Importance of Sound Operating Practices" which was enclosed with your vehicle recall letter for operating practices that will minimize the potential for excessive fuel pressures and possible fuel expulsion.
