AFFECTED VEHICLES
1986-model Escort, Lynx and EXP cars equipped with 1.9L engines having engine calibration codes 6-08A-R25/R27 and R28 and serviced under Emissions Recall 91E17.
REASONS FOR RECALL
Owners of affected cars were notified in July, 1992 to return their cars to a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer for Emissions Recall 91E17 service.
After that service was performed some owners reported engine driveability problems. As a result the recall was temporarily suspended.
RECONTACTING OWNERS
Owners who had recall 91E17 service performed are being recontacted to return for the service provided by this recall (Emissions Recall 93E38).
Owners who have not responded to recall 91E17 are also being recontacted for the service provided by Emissions Recall 93E39.
INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Cars having engine calibration code 6-08A-R25 must be inspected to verify Emissions Recall 86E55 service.
All cars must be inspected to verify Emissions Recall 91E17 service.
After inspection, all cars will have a vacuum retard delay valve removed from the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) vacuum circuit and attachment of Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) and Authorized Modifications labels.
Removal of the vacuum retard delay valve will eliminate unsatisfactory engine performance and help reduce air pollutants.
