Subject:
Safety Recall 93S73 - Certain 1994 Model Year Ford Probes - Modification of original program - Installation of reinforcement mounting bracket to the Passenger Side Air Bag Module.

Affected Vehicles
A small number of early-built 1994 Model Year Ford Probes that were not previously corrected per Safety Recall Bulletin dated November, 1993. The forty-one remaining units are identified in OASIS.

Reasons for Recall
The air bag module on the passenger side of these vehicles may not be securely retained in the instrument panel. Under certain high temperature conditions, if the air bag module is deployed as the result of a collision, it may separate form its mounting bracket.

If this situation occurs, possible injury to the vehicle occupant(s) could result. The original bulletin did not include an owner letter mailing because no units were recorded as sold. Our records now indicate that forty-one affected units have been sold. Therefore, Recall letters will now be mailed to these owners.

To correct this condition a reinforcement mounting bracket will be installed behind the passenger side air bag module. Please follow the revised Technical Instructions for the remaining forty-one units.

NOTE:
When a customer calls to schedule a service date, dealers are instructed to advise the customer to promptly bring their vehicle to the dealer to have this service performed.

Rental Cars
Ford Motor Company will pay for a loaner or rental car, except for fuel, which will be at the owner's expense, until the reinforcement bracket is installed on the affected vehicles. Dealers must stay within ESP guidelines of $25.00 a day.
