Ford Motor Company is recalling (Emissions Recall 93E48) certain 1994 Model California Tempo and Topaz cars equipped with 2.3L and 3.0L engines. A vapor return hose may not be connected on your car which could result in evaporative emission levels which exceed California standards.

What The Dealer Will Do
At no cost to you, your dealer will inspect and, if necessary, connect a vapor return hose on your car according to the instructions provided by Ford.

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

If you do not have this service done,

^ Your Emissions Warranty may be reduced,
^ Your car may not pass emissions or smog tests that may be required in your area,
^ The California Department of Motor Vehicles may not renew your vehicle registration.

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed to repair your car is less than one hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your car one full working day.

Call Your Dealer
Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date. When you bring your car in, present this letter to the dealer. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.

Changed Address Or Sold The Car?
If you have, please fill out the enclosed prepaid postcard and mail it to us.

If the dealer doesn't make the repair promptly and without charge, contact the dealer service manager. You may also contact the Ford Customer Assistance Center by calling toll-free 1-800-392-3673 (1-800-392-FORD).

The State of California requires the completion of emissions recall repairs prior to vehicle registration renewal. Your car is subject to these requirements. When this recall repair is completed by your dealer, you will receive a Vehicle Emission Recall - Proof of Correction certificate. This certificate says that this emissions recall has been performed on your car.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET A CERTIFICATE FROM THE DEALER AND THAT YOU HAVE IT WHEN YOU RENEW YOUR CAR'S REGISTRATION.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT THE CERTIFICATE SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES (DMV) ONLY IF IT IS REQUESTED. OTHERWISE, THE CERTIFICATE IS TO BE HELD BY YOU FOR YOUR RECORDS.

We regret any problem this recall may cause you. We are doing this so you will be satisfied with your Ford-built car. In order to ensure your full protection under the Emissions Warranty provisions and to avoid any inconvenience when renewing your registration, it is recommended that you have your car serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your car.
