'recall campaign' Ford Taurus 1995 recalled the engine cooling fan assembly and installing circuit breaker. The consumer stated the dealer replaced the motor and fan, but never installed the breaker. The dealer found a leak in the radiator but they did not have a replacement so the vehicle was taken to another shop. After the recall was performed on June 11. 2002 the vehicle overheated on June 28, 2002. The consumer was informed by the mechanic who previously performed the recall work, stated the vehicle had a blown head gasket and possibly a cracked head from overheating. The mechanic stated the fan motor did not cause the vehicle to overheat. The consumer stated he learned of a recall regarding the head gasket which the mechanic at the dealership denied that there was a problem. The consumer returned to the dealership again and they found the fan motor and circuit breaker not working properly, they denied there was a problem, however the vehicle overheated again, and the motor had to be replaced for a second time. The battery was replaced because the vehicle would not start at times.
