In July 1996, a recall was issued for Ford Mk.1 Mondeo models manufactured from 10 October 1995 to 12 October 1995. In these vehicles, the right front bake caliper may have been cast from iron which was not of the correct specification – this could lead to the brake caliper failing (PRA 1996/2898).
In March 1999, a recall was issued for Ford HA and HB Mondeos manufactured on or after 5 June 1995 and fitted with manually reclining front seat-back mechanisms. In these vehicles, the lower part of the front seatbelts could contact the edge of the backrest recliner mechanism housing and repeated contacts could damage the seatbelt webbing (PRA 1999/3872).
