- The problem
- Intercontinental auto parts is recalling 1,937 fuel filters, p/nos alg 44/1 and purolator f10024, shipped between january 14 and february 13, 2008, sold for use on the vehicles listed above. The filter's outlet cap may not be securely crimped to the housing. This could result in a separation of filter's outlet cap from the housing.
- The risk
- If this condition occurs while attempting to start the vehicle, a no start condition may result and fuel may be pumped onto the ground. If this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the engine may stop due to inadequate fuel supply. If an ignition source were present, fuel leakage may result in a fire.
- The fix
- Intercontinental will replace the fuel filters free of charge. The recall began during march 2008. Owners may contact intercontinental at 800-451-2593.

1977 Ford LTD recalls 2
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- The involved vehicles were fitted with tilt steering columns containing transmission control inserts intended for trucks rather than passenger vehicles. This may cause the transmission selector pointer to be misaligned and the possibility of starting the engine when the selector is between the neutral (n) and drive (d) detents and the transmission is in drive.
- The fix
- Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission shift control insert, without charge to owner.
