TO: All Ford Dealers December, 1993

SUBJECT:
Owner Notification Program 93B30 - Inspection and, if Necessary, Replacement of Service Fuel Pump Assemblies on Certain 1993 Probe Cars

OASIS - YES
OWNER LIST - YES
PARTS RETURN - NO
PROGRAM TIMING - Through 36/36 bumper-to-bumper warranty or through
December 31, 1994, whichever provides greater coverage.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Approximately 49 1993 Probe cars that had fuel pump assemblies replaced after August 13, 1992.

In addition, if a dealer is aware of a vehicle which received a service replacement fuel pump after August 13, 1992 but is not listed in OASIS, he should contact his district office for approval and submit the 1863 claim under this program to obtain reimbursement.

REASONS FOR THIS PROGRAM
Service replacement fuel pump assemblies, which were built without return line reverse flow check valves, may have been installed in some of these cars. The check valve is designed to prevent fuel leakage from the tank after an incident in which the return line is severed. A missing return line check valve does not affect normal operation of the vehicle.

SERVICE ACTION
To correct this condition, the fuel pump assembly is to be inspected to verify the presence of the check valve. If the check valve is missing, the fuel pump assembly will be replaced.

REFUNDS
Only for owner-paid repairs made before date of Owner Letter.
