📰 Auto News Recalling the recall: Ford has more wiring harness issues

[Mook]

FoMoCo sent out a directive to Ford and Lincoln/Mercury dealers today informing them that around 225,000 vehicles are being re-recalled after it was discovered that the wiring harness used during the original recall wasn't quite up to snuff. The second round of recalls involves a faulty fuse that doesn't offer enough protection if a short circuit occurs. Ford will be notifying the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the issue, but until NHTSA has all the information and dealers have the appropriate parts, Ford won't be notifying owners until the middle of next month.

The full list of vehicles* includes...

• 1992-2003 Econoline
• 1992-98 Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis
• 1993 Bronco
• 1995-97 F-series stripped chassis
• 1993-95 Taurus SHO
• 1992-95 Town Car
• 1993 F series

Stupid question mook, but I assume you can bring your car to the dealer without a letter to get the recall done right?

Just curious as Kim's SHO is affected by the original recall and since its just sitting (finishing the repairs on it this weekend) we'd like to bring it in.

Looks like I'll be visiting Packey Webb again. When I brought it in for my free oil change I don't even know if they did the recall. I told them to do it but when I got home and looked at the rundown sheet it didn't mention the recall being done.

they ran out of the recal fix before the winter and now the Lighting is in storage, I guess I'll get it done this spring with the "new" recall fix...
