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. -

Over the years there has been an overabundance of engine oil myths.

Rotunda Times
Volume 2 No. 5 The Official Monthly Publication of the Ford and Mercury Restorer's Club of America. May 2013 Feature Vehicle: 1960 Mercury owned by the late submitted by Brian Cleary Tim Cleary Brian Cleary was a local piano player in the Detroit area for forty years, playing weddings, jazz clubs and parties. He played for over thirty years at Charley‟s raw bar/Dylan‟s in Grosse Point. He never had a cell phone, GPS, home mortgage, car payment, kids or a boss. He never lived outside the City of Detroit. He loved older cars and restored a 1974 Triumph, 1973 Oldsmobile Brian's 1960 Mercury convertible, a 1959 Thunderbird, and his last project, a 1960 Mercury Park Lane. These are the pictures taken at the Ford employee car show of that completed and very unusual Mercury. When is the last time you saw one? 1960 was the last year of the elevated Mercury concept which was to fill the spot between the Lincoln on top and the soon to be murdered Edsel Below. It shared very little with the Ford and the Parklane was the top of the line offering with the 430 Lincoln engine as standard equipment. The 430 was rated at 310 horsepower with 460 foot pounds of torque. The hood was hinged at the front as a safety feature and the car measured 219.2 in length. There were 5,788 four door hard top (No Pillar) cruisers sold, making it the best selling version of the top of the line model. It weighed 4,421 pounds and sold for $3,858. -

Hyun dai's entire line of cars, Elantra, Sonata, Scoupe and Excel, is approved for towing when equipped with manual transmissions. Last year, Chevrolet/GMC truck division added their S-series four-wheel drive (4WD) trucks to the towables list, and this year Chevrolet's car division has approved '92 through '94 Cavalier, Corsica and Ber etta models with manual transmissions.MotorHome Much of the mail we re ceive at in volves the towability of a specificvehicle. The best source of thisinformation · is the owner's manual that each manufacturer sup before plies with the vehicle. We strongly suggest that you carefully read the manual's section on towing you plunk your money down. All the vehicles listed in this year's chart are approved by their manufac turers to be towed without the use of accessories such as dollies, driveshaft disconnects, special hubs or lubrication pumps. We've com piled data in the chart that lists 1994 vehicles approved for towing on all four wheels behind a motorhome. If the owner's manual specifically approves of towing on all four wheels, or if the manufacturer has issued a special service bulletin, weincluding have included a car sales the person's!vehicle on the chart. We do not accept verbal approval, And you shouldn't either! Be aware that there may be several print ings of owner's manuals, and manufac turers have been known to change their rules in the middle of a model year.
