From Associated Press
Ford Motor Co. recalled 220,000 vehicles from the 2005 model year amid worries that a battery cable rubbing against the frame could cause a fire and concern that a fuel tank strap could separate.
The recall linked to the cable involves more than 98,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans. Ford said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it had received four reports of fires.
