What This Recall Means

Component

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

What Happened
Your vehicle's owner guide doesn't have the correct information about where to find and use the safety features to secure a child seat. This is a problem with the manual, not the vehicle itself.
Risk if Unfixed
If your child is in a car accident and their seat isn't secured properly, they could get hurt more easily.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
A revised owner guide insert will be provided and you can either insert it into your manual yourself or have a dealership do it for you, free of charge.

Affected Vehicles

2001 FORD Taurus

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #00V396000. Matching a model and year on this list does not prove an individual vehicle is affected — some vehicles in an affected model year are never part of the recall population. The authoritative way to know is a VIN check against NHTSA's own records.
