THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED ON MY 1992 SABLE. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL THAT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 98V323000. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR (HERITAGE LINCOLN-MERCURY) AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS ON THE CAR AND NONE ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS. I THEN CONTACTED FORD VIA THEIR "800" NUMBER AND WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE CABLE AND ONE ON THE EMISSIONS. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD REPLACE THESE UNDER THE PRIOR RECALL NOTICE. *AK

STRUCTURE
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE REAR SUBMOUNTS IN MY CAR. I PURCHASED A PREMIUM EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN WITH THE CAR AND I AM TOLD THESE COMPONENTS ARE NOT COVERED BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF THE " STRUCTURE " OF THE CAR AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THEY FAIL. IN FACT THE COMPONENTS DO NOT EVEN APPEAR ON THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR MY CAR!
