Vehicle Recall

                 November 28, 2001

               Alleged Recall of Ford Focus

               (SafetyAlerts) - From multiple conflicting sources
               a recall may be in effect for the Ford Focus.
               Owners of the 2000-2001 Focus Models should
               contact Ford Motor Company or a Ford dealer
               with their vehicle identification number. Ford will
               not confirm a recall unless all consumer
               information is provided.

               Number Involved:279,646

               Defect: 
               The problem stems from corrosion caused by
               road salt used to melt snow and ice in the winter.
               The result is loose rear wheels. The recall covers
               cars sold in or currently registered in 21 northern
               U.S. states and six Canadian provinces where
               salt is used on roads.

               The Ford Focus has been hit by quality glitches
               during the past two years. The 2000 model year
               alone had undergone seven safety recalls since it
               was introduced in mid-1999. Yet the model still
               has managed to lure a younger audience than
               Ford's previous compact, the Escort.
