This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Model Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis passenger cars.
Safety Defect
On some of these cars, the power window and headlamp circuit breakers may not have been installed in the proper locations. If the non-cycling power window circuit breaker is installed in the headlamp circuit and an electrical short or overload develops, the headlamps could go off without warning and remain off until the circuit breaker is recycled by turning the headlamp switch off and back on or by removing the power through some other means. If the headlamps were to go off while the car is being driven at night, an accident may result.
Repairs
At no charge to you, your dealer will inspect your vehicle and, if necessary, put the two affected circuit breakers in the proper locations. Dealers currently have instructions for performing this service.
How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is less than one hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day.
