Mercury Villager 1993

• Recall 7294 [USA]: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
  Vehicle description: minivans. The fuel tank vent hose allows air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks have developed in the vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel.
  dealers will replace the vent hose.

• Recall 2001025 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, cracks could develop in the fuel vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: fuel tank vent hose will be replaced.

• Recall 1995219 [Canada]: Electrical
  The cowl screen for the heater/air conditioner blower housing may not prevent, in some cases, the entry of small leaves and foreign material into the blower housing. If this material enters the blower housing and accumulates at the blower motor resistor, it may be ignited and could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: a secondary air inlet screen will be installed on affected vehicles. Any debris present in the blower assembly will be removed.

• Recall 1992113 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
  One or more of the bolts securing the automatic shoulder belt restraint system tracks to the b-pillars may not be adequately tightened. This may result in the joints having less than the designed strength thereby increasing the risk of reduced seat belt effectiveness in the event of a collision. Correction: passive restraint system track mounting bolts will be tightened on affected vehicles.

• Recall 1992114 [Canada]: Brakes
  Vehicles may experience partial brake system failure due to internal service brake master cylinder leakage which causes loss of braking on two of the four wheels of the vehicle. This would result in increased brake pedal travel, higher pedal efforts and increased stopping distances. Correction: vehicles will be inspected and service brake cylinder will be replaced if necessary.

• Fuel tank vent hose leakage investigation # EA00014

  Periodic exposure to liquid gasoline may result in extraction of antidegradants from the subject fuel tank vent hose.Hoses which have suffered loss of antidegradants can develop cracks in areas of high strain.Fuel may spray or drip from cracked vent hoses following tank fill.Starting at job#1 1998 my (california emissions vehicles) and job#1 1999 my (federal emissions vehicles), the subject vent hose composition changed from nitrile rubber hoses with chloroprene rubber covers (nbr/cr) to fluorocarbon rubber hoses with an outer layer blend of nbr/pvc.The changes were made to improve hydracarbon resistance for complaince with new evaporative emissions regulations.The modified hoses are also significantly more resistant to degradation and cracking.In a letter dated january 2, 2001, ford notified nhtsa that it will conduct a safety recall campaign to replace the subject vent hose in affacted vehicles.Ford will "begin notifying customers of the affected vehicles on or about the week of february 12, 2001 to return their vehicles to dealers for replacement of the fuel tank vent hose with the latest design lever part."

Owner notice engine beginning to drag on the ground, car was still capable of operating. Transverse structural member beneath the radiator which supports the front end of the engine support beam failed and allowed engine to tilt forward. Attach bracket for support beam tore through the structural member. Serious potential for snagging the front end of the engine support beam on a road hazard and forcing the front end of the car up in the air thus rolling the engine aft under the vehicle with loss of control. Transverse beam was partially corroded however metal thickness and strength of this component appears to be inadequate. Pictures available. *tr
