Electrical system: wiring: interior/under dash
- What is wrong
- On certain police interceptors (cvpi) and commercial heavy duty (taxi) vehicles, at extremely high operating temperatures, the sound insulating panel, located under the vehicle positioned between the exhaust system and the underbody, could sag and possibly contact the surface of the catalytic converter.
- Risk
- If this occurs, the insulator might experience charring of the outer layer, burning odor, or smoke which may ultimately result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the existing dash insulator and install a revised design insulator pad free of charge. The recall began on june 3, 2005. Owners may contact ford at 1‑800‑392‑3673.
