FORD issued a recall on the ESCORTEXP, and LYNX models

ON 1984 MODELS, EXTERNAL CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN OIL LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ON 1985 MODELS, THE ENGINE ROCKER COVER GASKET MAY SPLIT, WHICH COULD ALLOW OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. BOTH THESE CONDITIONS CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE OIL IGNITING CAUSING AN UNDERHOOD FIRE. CORRECTION: ON 1984 MODELS, THE CYLINDER HEADS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF FOUND TO CONTAIN EXTERNAL CRACKS. ON 1985 MODELS, THE ROCKER COVER GASKETS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED UNLESS THEY ARE OF A LATER DESIGN.
