Known issues on the 1993 Fox. The 1993 Fox shows 2 recalls in federal records. Certain 1993 Fox vehicles were recalled because heat from a failing cooling system could raise pressure until the heat exchanger under the dash leaked, sending hot coolant toward a passenger and steaming up the cabin; dealers added a bypass kit and a cover. A separate recall of certain vehicles targeted the fuel hose on the distribution rail, which could shrink beneath its clamps and leak fuel into the engine compartment. Of 18 complaints, engine and engine cooling accounts for 8, with seat belts at 4 and visibility at 4; 1 complaint reported a fire. Cooling system procedures, fuel system specifications and diagnostics are included.
