Affects Ford Taurus · 1992–1995 — about 54K vehicles.

The hazard

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.
