Car Accident Advice often obtains
recall notices before dealers and owners. The NHTSA recommends
that you wait for the mailed bulletin to arrive before requesting
the work to be done. However, you can ask your
Ford Taurus Recalls dealer when the next recall update notice is expected at their shop.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) regularly announces vehicle safety car
recalls in an effort to inform and urge owners to get problems
repaired quickly.
In the United States, safety car
recalls must be performed at no charge to the customer. Car
manufacturers are required by law to mail notices of car recalls to
owners and dealers.
Notices get lost in the mail or
discarded as junk mail. Even after these attempts to notify
customers, only 72% of owners affected by safety issue car recalls
have the recall work completed for Ford Taurus Recalls.

Summary Ford Taurus Recalls
Certain
passenger vehicles are being recalled to correct a problem with a
malfunctioning stop lamp switch and/or associated wiring. This
malfunctioning could render the stop lamps inoperable or cause them
to stay on all the time. This could cause confusion to a following
driver, which could lead to a crash. In addition, if the switch
and/or associated wiring fail in the open position, the brake lights
will not actuate and the driver will not be able to shift the
vehicle out of "Park." If they fail in the closed
position, the brake lights will remain on, which will not allow the
speed control to be activated. This could also cause the battery to
discharge.

Dealers will remove the stop lamp switch and associated wiring assembly and install a newly designed stop lamp switch and wire assembly. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on April 5, 2004. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
