Summary
The Merkur XR4Ti has 2 recalls covering the 1985 and 1988 model years, with the more serious being a fuel system issue on 1985 vehicles where extreme cold and low humidity can cause an electrostatic charge to build up along the nylon fuel line and discharge to ground, creating a potential ignition source near the fuel system. This recall specifically affects vehicles operated in western and central Canada, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and northwestern Ontario. The 1988 model year has a separate recall for exhaust emissions that do not meet Canadian standards, a compliance issue with no associated safety consequence.
