- [1994162](/recalls/tc/1994162.md), 1994-10-24: Emissions. Certain Cougar XR\-7, Tunderbird turbo, and Merkur XR4TI vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1103 \- Exhaust Emissions.  Correction: Dealers will replace the exhaust system catalyst and a vacuum delay valve will be installed in the EGC vacuum line.
- [1990180](/recalls/tc/1990180.md), 1990-11-16: Fuel System. NOTE: VEHICLES LOCATED IN EASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, ALBERTA,   YUKON, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, SASKATCHEWAN, MANITOBA AND   NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO. UNDER CONDITIONS OF EXTREME COLD AND VERY LOW HUMIDITY, FUEL FLOW   MAY CAUSE AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO BUILD UP TO A SUFFICIENT   LEVEL TO DISCHARGE TO GROUND THROUGH THE NYLON FUEL LINE THAT   CONNECTS THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILTER. THIS COULD FORM A PIN   HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE TO OCCUR. IN THE   PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, SUCH AS AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE   FROM THE FUEL FILTER, A FIRE COULD RESULT.
