Owner Letters

Dear Owner:

Ford Motor Company is voluntarily recalling some 1981 and 1982-model Ford LTD and Mercury Marquis cars equipped with 4.2 or 5.0 Liter engines. Our records indicate that you own one of these cars.

Please contact a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer in your area to arrange for this recall service. The dealer will modify your vehicle's emission control system at no charge to you. The time needed to perform this service is about one hour. If you do not have this service done, your emission warranty coverage may be reduced. Also, your car may not pass an emission test that may be required in your area.

When you call your dealer for this service, ask for a computer check on the "CARES" or the "OASIS" systems to see if your car needs other recall work. If it does, the dealer can tell you about the required service.

Your vehicle's identification number is shown on the enclosed form. Please detach the postcard on the cover sheet of the form. Complete any of the sections that may apply to you and mail the postcard to us. Please give the rest of the form to your dealer at the time of service. If you lose the form, the dealer will still service your car at no charge to you.

When you have this recall service performed, your car will need a new emission control information decal. This decal is enclosed. The decal has your car's identification number printed on it. Since this decal can be used only on your car, it is important that you have the decal with you when you take your car to the dealer. The dealer will place the decal on your car after servicing the emission control system.

If the dealer cannot answer any questions you have regarding this recall service, you may contact the nearest Ford Parts and Service Division District Office whose address is shown in your Owner Guide.

We regret any problem this recall may cause you. We are doing this so that you will be satisfied with your car. We urge you to have your car serviced promptly to maintain full coverage under the emission warranties.
