Ford Motor Company is voluntarily recalling (Emissions Recall 93E45) certain 1986 through 1989-model Thunderbird, Cougar and Merkur XR4ti cars equipped with 2.3L turbocharged engines. Your car's engine may be releasing air pollutants which exceed Federal standards.

What The Dealer Will Do

At no cost to you the exhaust system catalyst will be replaced and the exhaust gas recirculation system will be modified according to the instructions provided by Ford.

This service should have little or no effect on your car except to reduce air pollutants.

How Long Will It Take?

The time needed to repair your car is about one hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day.

Call Your Dealer

Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date and if parts are in stock.

If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week.

When you bring your car in, give the dealer this letter.

If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.
