Transport Canada recall 2001290

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

Certain Taurus and Sable vehicles with 3.0 liter and 3.8 liter engines and 1995 model year Mustang vehicles with 3.8 liter and 5.0 liter engines. The engine cooling fan motor bearings, can result in increased motor torque and higher than normal motor current with accompanying high motor temperatures. Overheating of the cooling fan motor due to excessive current can result in smoke and odors. This condition can cause smoke or flames from the fan and/or shroud, the fan electrical wiring, or the fan motor resulting in a vehicle fire. Correction: dealers will install an electrical jumper harness containing an automatic resetting circuit breaker to protect the fan motor low speed circuitry from overheating.
