THIS PART HAS A SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA# 97V204 OR FORD RECALL # 97S83). HOWEVER, IT ONLY INCLUDES VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER 1/3/92. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCTOBER, 1991 (3 MONTHS EARLIER) IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR OF LEAKING FLUID, BUT I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED AND THE TOTAL FIX SHOULD BE INSTALLED AT FORD'S EXPENSE TO PREVENT ADDITIONAL FAILURES AND/OR CAUSE FIRES.
