Ford Motor Co. recalled 220,000 vehicles from the 2005 model year Wednesday amid fire worries from a battery cable rubbing against the frame and concern that a fuel tank strap could separate after tens of thousands of miles.

The recall linked to the cable involves more than 98,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans. Ford said it had received four reports of fires.

A second recall caused by the separation of fuel tank straps involves more than 123,000 Ford Freestyle crossover vehicles, Ford Five Hundred sedans and Mercury Montego vehicles. At mileage levels of 100,000 and more, the automaker was concerned the strap would separate and cause the fuel tank to drop.

The second recall involved vehicles built from January 2005 through June.

Dealers will inspect the vehicles and fix them, if necessary, at no additional cost. Owners will be notified of the recalls in the coming weeks.
