Consumer Description

CORROSION-RELATED DETERIORATION IN 1989 MERCURY SABLE RESULTED IN DETACHMENT OF SUB-FRAME REAR PLATE NUT AND BOLT PULLING THROUGH. SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALLS 93V106002 AND 98V-323/98S36. ADVISED BY FORD DEALER THAT THESE RECALLS DO NOT APPLY TO MY VIN AND ARE LIMITED TO EASTERN US STATES. HOWEVER 98V-323 STATES THAT VEHICLES WITH THESE SYMPTOMS ARE TO BE REPAIRED FREE BY DEALERS. NO ACCIDENT/INJURY HAS OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR ON MONDAY APRIL 29 2007. I NEED TO KNOW IF THE RECALL WILL BE EXTENDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE REPAIR AND IF NOT, WHY NOT. SALT IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN UT FOR SNOW AND ICE CONTROL. *TR
