The 1976 Ford Granada has 2 recalls, both involving engine cooling fan blades that can develop fatigue cracks and break apart, sending fragments into the engine bay.
The first affects vehicles equipped with air conditioning, the police package, or a trailer tow option, where a flexible five-blade fan can vibrate at resonant frequencies until the blades crack. The second affects vehicles with the 250 cubic inch engine in Ghia trims across all cooling packages, or in non-Ghia trims equipped with extra cooling or air conditioning cooling, where the same cracking risk applies.
