Description of the problem | The right and left tail lights and instrument panel lights failed. The terminals on the headlight switch show signs of heat damage. This is the same symptoms as nhtsa campaign id # 99v103000 (mfg campaign # 99s14) applicable to certain 1995-1998 ford contour vehicles. This recall does not apply to my ford contour (vin # [xxx]) according to two ford dealers. The symptoms of this recall exactly describe the current symptoms of my ford contour and it is questionable as to why this recall is not currently applicable to my vin #. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
