Known issues on the 1995 Taurus. Six recalls are on the federal record, and three of them concern the engine cooling fan: its bearing can seize, overheat and ignite the motor, and in a few listed states the fan, shroud or wiring can smoke or burn outright. A missing or half-installed retainer clip can also let the master cylinder push rod separate from the brake pedal arm, costing all braking. NHTSA has 1360 owner complaints on record, the power train and engine and engine cooling well ahead of the service brakes. Cooling fan wiring diagrams, brake pedal procedures and power train specifications are in the manual.
