1992 Ford Crown Victoria

What can fail

The hood latch striker can wear down or detach from the hood, potentially allowing the hood to open unexpectedly while driving.

What the fix does

Dealers will install an improved hood latch striker or revised fasteners to secure the striker plate, depending on your vehicle's model year.

What can fail

The rear brake lines may leak, and the rubber shield protecting the line may not be properly positioned or secured.

What the fix does

Dealers will inspect the rear brake lines and replace any leaking sections. The rubber shield will be repositioned and secured with an additional clamp.

What can fail

An unused power seat connector under the seat floor mat can corrode from road salt brine, creating a salt bridge that causes unwanted current flow, overheating the connector and potentially producing fumes or fire.

What the fix does

The unused connector will be removed and the wires will be sealed with heat shrink caps.

What can fail

An unused power seat connector sits on the floor mat under the seat. In cold, salty climates, saltwater puddles can form on the mat and repeatedly wet the connector, causing corrosion that allows current to flow between terminals without triggering the circuit breaker.

What the fix does

Dealers will remove the unused connector and install a sealed heat shrink cap over the affected wires.

What can fail

Some vehicles have incorrect wiring in the instrument panel that prevents the anti-lock brake warning light from turning on when needed.

What the fix does

The wire assembly will be modified to enable the anti-lock brake warning light to function properly.
