WEBMASTER'S NOTE: This is the first issue of a new TSB format that includes Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, which previously had their own separately-published set of TSB releases. The front page of this TSB has the following notice:

---

TO: All Dealer Service Managers, Service Writers and Technicians

This will introduce the new Technical Service Bulletin as prepared by the Ford Customer Service Division. The new bulletin is a comprehensive document incorporating service information for all Ford Motor Company vehicle lines.

The format was developed after consulting with many dealership service managers, service writers, and service technicians to determine its acceptability by those personnel most directly concerned with its use. We believe it now provides a common document that will allow all dealerships, Ford or Lincoln-Mercury, to have information involving any Ford Motor Company vehicle line.

The Bulletin Contents is divided into three basic sections; Ford car lines, Lincoln-Mercury car lines, and Ford trucks. For ease in locating information, each section contains all articles which apply to these vehicle lines. Each section has also been divided into four basic categories for convenience in locating a specific condition: Body, Chassis. Electrical, and Powertrain.

The Technical Service Bulletin will permit timely notification to all service personnel and technicians of the latest service information to help them to resolve promptly conditions of customer's vehicles which might generate dissatisfaction with the dealers' service and the product.
