  • Ford Recalls 4.5 Million Additional Vehicles in Switch Recall Faulty Part Could Cause Fire; Largest Recall in Ford’S History
    NYS Department of State safetyOFPC ALERT October NY STATE FIRE 2009 Ford Recalls 4.5 Million Additional Vehicles In Switch Recall Faulty Part Could Cause Fire; Largest Recall In Ford’s History Ford Motor Co. says it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire. Ford says 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans will be recalled for repairs due to a small risk of fires. The company says another 3.4 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with the same switches also will be recalled even though there have been no reports of fires. Those vehicles mainly are trucks and SUVs. All vehicles covered by the recall are from the 1992 to 2003 model years. This is Ford’s seventh recall due to the Texas Instruments speed control switches. The recalls cover a total of 14.3 million vehicles and combined are the largest in Ford’s history Summary of the Ford Fire Recalls Both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Ford Motor Co. have issued several recalls of millions of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles as a result of a defective cruise control switch that can lead to a spontaneous fire, even when the vehicle is turned off, parked and unattended. The most recent of this Ford cruise control recalls occurred on September 9, 2008, when the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration re-recalled millions of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury SUV’s pickup trucks, vans and cars. This advisory was the second recall warning from the safety agency issued in 2008 and is meant to bring in nearly 5 million cars, trucks and SUVs which still have not been brought in for repair since an earlier recall of 12 million vehicles in February 2008.

    Volume 19 Issue 6 June 1, 2019 The 1958 - 1960 Lincolns, Interesting Automobiles A totally different Lincoln from the ones who came before it. Experiencing a shortage of articles from our members, we went back into the archives of Continental Comments for an interesting article; which you might enjoy. Lincoln models 1958 through 1960 were both interesting from a mechanical and stylistic standpoint. A lot of folks were not quite sure if the new look of these models was something that they would really like over a period of time. Compared to the 1956 and 1957 models, they really were quite different. Boxier and somewhat larger by most measurements. Now some 60 years later, they are sort of coming into their own. Nice examples will bring a lot of money today, especially if they are convertibles. We have several of these models owned by North Star club members, and they do speak quite highly of them. This article was written by Tim Howley and appeared in the July August 2002 issue of Conti- nental Comments. It is an interesting story, and it looks at these models in a fairly object fashion. Welcome to the We hope you enjoy reading it. Northstar News, the The late Fifties is a fascinating era in automobile styling. It produced the ultimate in ba- roque automobile architecture, especially in the biggest American cars. We think of the 1959 monthly publication of Cadillac and 1957-59 Imperial as being the most interesting examples. But when you set the Northstar Region them alongside the 1958 Lincoln, and to a degree the 1959 and 1960 versions, they don't even of the Lincoln and begin to compare in terms of uniqueness of design.

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.
