Ford announces vehicle campaign
DEARBORN, Mich., March 26, 1999 - In the interest
of customer safety and in keeping with its drive to become a more
consumer-focused company, Ford Motor Company is voluntarily notifying
approximately 945,000 owners of a safety recall involving speed
control cables. The recall affects certain 1998 and 1999 Ford
and Mercury cars and trucks equipped with the speed control option.
Certain vehicles may be equipped with a speed control
