If you own one of these Ford trucks or Lincoln Mark vehicles, call your Ford dealer and find out if your vehicle is on this recall list. It's a deadly defect that can cause serious injury if not fixed.

And remember that if your dealer can't help you, we can. Getting rid of lemons is what we do. Getting your money back, or a new vehicle, is only fair - after all, they made the defects and not you.
