Owner Letter

Dear Owner:

Ford Motor Company is voluntarily recalling some 1986-model Escort, Lynx and EXP cars equipped with certain 1.9 liter engines and automatic transmissions. Our records show that you own one of these cars. Your car's engine may be releasing air pollutants which exceed Federal Standards.

Please contact a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer in your area to arrange for this recall service. The dealer will modify your car's emission control system at no charge to you. The time needed to perform this service is about one hour. If you do not have this service done, your emission warranty coverage may be reduced. Also, your car may not pass an emission test that may be required in your area.

When you call your dealer for this service, ask for a computer check on the "CARES" or the "OASIS" systems to see if your car needs other recall work. If it does, the dealer can tell you about the required service.

Your car's identification number is shown on the enclosed form. Please detach the postcard on the cover sheet of the form. Complete any of the sections that may apply to you and mail the postcard to us. Please give the rest of the form to your dealer at the time of service. If you lose the form, the dealer will still service your car at no charge to you.

If the dealer cannot answer any questions you have regarding this recall service, you may contact the nearest Ford Parts and Service Division District Office whose address is shown in your Owner Guide.

We regret any inconvenience this recall may cause you. We are doing this so that you will be satisfied with your car. We urge you to have your car serviced promptly to maintain full coverage under the emission warranties.
