Regulators Investigating Ford Police Vehicles for Possible Exhaust Hazard
The agency said it has received 2,700 complaints from people who contend they
have been exposed to exhaust fumes or carbon monoxide while in the vehicles.
She said that police departments can bring their Police Interceptors to dealers to have them examined for exhaust leaks,
and have any seals reinforced to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the passenger cabin.
Ford acknowledged that leaks of carbon monoxide have been a problem in Police Interceptors
that it said have been modified after leaving the factory by outfitters who add police lights and other special equipment.
