Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 1995 Ford Taurus in Canada.
Certain Taurus and Sable vehicles with 3.0 liter and 3.8 liter engines and 1995 model year Mustang vehicles with 3.8 liter and 5.0 liter engines. The engine cooling fan motor bearings, can result in increased motor torque and higher than normal motor current with accompanying high motor temperatures. Overheating of the cooling fan motor due to excessive current can result in smoke and odors. This condition can cause smoke or flames from the fan and/or shroud, the fan electrical wiring, or the fan motor resulting in a vehicle fire. Correction: dealers will install an electrical jumper harness containing an automatic resetting circuit breaker to protect the fan motor low speed circuitry from overheating.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles located in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador, the lower sub frame mount plate nut may corrode and fail due to exposure to road salt. This could result in loss of structural integrity of the subframe mount attachment. Detachment of the body mounts at the rear corners of the sub frame which supports the engine and transmission, allows the rear corners of the sub frame to drop. Should both rear corners drop, steering control would be adversely affected. Correction: Dealers will install subframe rear mount bolts, reinforcement plate and plate nuts.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

VEHICLES WITH 3.8 LITRE ENGINES THAT WERE INVOLVED IN SAFETY RECALL 95S22 (95-202) WERE MODIFIED WITH A MAXI-FUSE THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE INTENDED LEVEL OF PROTECTION FOR THE ENGINE COOLING FAN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ALSO, BECAUSE A SIMILAR MAXI-FUSE CIRCUIT WAS USED ON CERTAIN 1994-95 TAURUS/SABLE VEHICLES WITH 3.8 LITRE ENGINES, THESE VEHICLES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. CORRECTION: A FUSED WIRING HARNESS THAT PROVIDES THE REQUIRED LEVEL OF PROTECTION WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
DIRECT WATER SPRAY OR LONG TERM WET DRIVING CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE WATER TO ACCUMULATE IN THE SPEED CONTROL CABLE CONDUIT. UNDER COLD CONDITIONS THIS WATER COULD FREEZE AND PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE SPEED CONTROL IS DISENGAGED. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT DRIVER CONTROL AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: MOISTURE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CABLE CONDUIT AND A BOOT WILL BE ADDED TO THE SPEED CONTROL CABLE TO PREVENT WATER ENTRY.
A failure of this component (engine) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
NOTE: 1992-94 TEMPO/TOPAZ WITH 3.0 LITRE ENGINES; 1994-95 TAURUS/SABLE (EXCEPT SHO) WITH 3.0 LITRE ENGINES; 1992-93 TAURUS/SABLE WITH 3.8 LITRE ENGINES; 1992-94 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THE ENGINE COOLING FAN MAY BECOME FROZEN IN PLACE BY SNOW, ICE OR SLUSH. IF THIS OCCURS AND THE COOLING FAN IS ACTIVATED, EITHER AUTOMATICALLY TO REDUCE COOLANT TEMPERATURE OR WHEN THE DEFROSTER IS TURNED ON, THE COOLING FAN WILL NOT ROTATE AND CAN OVERHEAT. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE FAN MOTOR, FAN, FAN WIRING AND SHROUD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SMOKE OR A FIRE TO RESULT. CORRECTION: IN SOME CASES, THE FUSE FOR THE COOLING FAN CIRCUIT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A SMALLER FUSE. IN OTHER CASES, A JUMPER HARNESS WITH DEDICATED CIRCUIT PROTECTION FOR THE COOLING FAN WILL BE INSTALLED.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH ROD RETAINER CLIP MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN DISENGAGEMENT OF THE BRAKE PUSH ROD AND LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKING. CORRECTION: VEHICLE WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF NECESSARY, A NEW RETAINER WILL BE INSTALLED.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
NOTE: TAURUS FLEX-FUEL VEHICLES (FFV). THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1105 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT FUEL VAPOUR VALVES INSTALLED IN THE FUEL TANK. THESE VALVES COULD PERMIT FUEL TO FLOW FROM THE TANK INTO THE VAPOUR CANISTER RESULTING IN EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS IN EXCESS OF THE STANDARD. CORRECTION: FUEL VAPOUR VALVES WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
A failure of this component (emissions) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
