Power Steering Bracket - Possible Misbuild Condition

87ford19
Number: 09081987


Mr. Dealer;

This is a follow-up letter to the phone call alerting you to a possible misbuild condition on the power steering bracket.

Some serial numbers may have been delivered to your dealership and represent a four cylinder Taurus that can possibly have the wrong power steering bracket. The bracket in question is a 1988 design installed on some 1987 units.






Please change the bracket as required prior to delivery to the customer, if possible. Attached are illustrations which show how to tell the difference between the 1988 and 1987 brackets.

If any parts need to be changed, all cost associated with the repair should be sent to the Chicago assembly Plant to the attention of the Quality Control Manager for reimbursement.
Note Added - 9/8/87

Typical letter sent to 30 dealers concerning 30 vehicles.
