## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [1995031](/recalls/tc/1995031.md), 1995-02-21: Electrical. NOTE: VEHICLES LOCATED IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND THE ATLANTIC PROVINCES. THE FUEL PUMP WIRING ASSEMBLY MAY CORRODE DUE TO ROAD SALT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL BRIDGE DEVELOPING BETWEEN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT AND THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER TERMINALS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE FUEL SENDER GROUND CIRCUIT TO OVERHEAT THE WIRING AND MELT ITS INSULATION PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE FUSE IN THE FUEL PUMP POWER CIRCUIT. THIS WOULD CAUSE SMOKE AND ODOUR AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF FUEL DELIVERY TO THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE STOPPING.  CORRECTION: A FUSED JUMPER HARNESS WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE FUEL PUMP/SENDER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
- [1993078](/recalls/tc/1993078.md), 1993-06-01: Steering. ON VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE ROLL PINS SECURING THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER IN THE STEERING COLUMN HOUSING MAY NOT REMAIN IN PLACE.  THIS COULD CAUSE THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER TO DISENGAGE FROM THE  STEERING COLUMN HOUSING WHICH COULD RESULT IN STEERING COLUMN LOCK\-UP AND LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.  CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF ROLL PINS ARE PRESENT AND  FULLY INSERTED, A PLASTIC SNAP\-ON SLEEVE WILL BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE PINS FROM COMING OUT. IF ONE OR BOTH OR THE ROLL PINS ARE MISSING OR NOT  FULLY INSERTED, THE IGNITION LOCK HOUSING ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED  \(ALONG WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND THE LIFTGATE/DECK\-LID LOCKS SO THAT KEY  COMPATIBILITY IS MAINTAINED\).
- [1993030](/recalls/tc/1993030.md), 1993-03-09: Lights And Instruments. NOTE: ESCORT PONY AND LX VEHICLES.  VEHICLES CORRECTED PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS. THESE VEHICLES DID NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S 101 \- CONTROL LOCATION AND  IDENTIFICATION. ODOMETERS CALIBRATED IN MILES RATHER THAN KILOMETRES.  CORRECTION: ODOMETERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONES CALIBRATED IN  KILOMETRES.
- [1992121](/recalls/tc/1992121.md), 1992-09-29: Fuel System. FATIGUE CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE SOLDER JOINT BETWEEN THE FUEL RETURN  TUBE AND THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.  THIS WOULD ALLOW FUEL VAPOURS TO ESCAPE FROM THE TANK AND WHEN THE TANK  IS 7/8 OR MORE FULL, A SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE  CRACK PRESENTING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.  NOTE: FOR ESCORT MODELS ONLY GT AND LXE LINES INVOLVED.  CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT  ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF IMPROVED STRENGTH.
- [1990062](/recalls/tc/1990062.md), 1990-04-20: Engine. A BOLT THAT SECURES A FUEL LINE SHIELD TO THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DASH PANEL PROTRUDES THROUGH THE PANEL AND MAY INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PEDAL STICKING AT THE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THIS COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: BOLT WILL BE CUT OFF FLUSH WITH THE TOP OF THE WELD NUT THROUGH WHICH IT PROTRUDES.
