1979 Mercury Monarch

Component

Visibility:Windshield

Consequence of Defect

windshields may have been installed on these vehicles without the application of a butyl primer on the mounting surface of the glazing. the primer is required to ensure adequate retention of the windshield to its opening flange. this constitutes a non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 212, "windshield mounting".

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will reinstall the windshield correctly without charge to owner.

1977 Mercury Monarch

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission:Lever And Linkage:Column Shift

Consequence of Defect

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.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission shift control insert, without charge to owner.

1977 Mercury Monarch

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Cooling System:Fan

Consequence of Defect
