1995 FORD ESCORT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1995 Ford Escort has 5 recalls, with the most serious being a cracked fuel tank on 1.9L-equipped models that can leak fuel and cause a fire if an ignition source is nearby. The fuel tank issue affects vehicles originally sold or registered in certain warm-climate states, where cracks can form in the tank wall and allow fuel to escape. On the airbag side, the driver's side airbag inflator canister may have an inadequate weld that can split open in a crash, causing the airbag to fail to deploy correctly and expelling hot gases out the back of the steering wheel toward the driver. The passenger airbag module may also be missing the two bolts that hold it to the instrument panel, meaning a frontal crash can cause the module to break free entirely and fail to restrain the passenger.
