1989 MERCURY COUGAR Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1989 Mercury Cougar has 4 recalls, the most serious being a brake defect where a sharp, low-speed turn can cause the front brake caliper to contact the stabilizer bar, reducing braking power on the first stop after the maneuver. Two recalls address the front seatbelts, which can fail to retract after being pulled out due to a cable in the tension reliever mechanism that may break or bind. An earlier repair attempt for this issue did not fully resolve the problem, and the second recall supersedes the first with an updated fix. On vehicles equipped with the 3.8-litre engine, a disconnected fuel vapor hose at the fuel tank may allow fuel vapors to escape rather than being routed through the emissions control system.
