NHTSA Recall History
1992-1998:
This vehicle was previously repaired using a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity. Dealers will install a new wiring harness, or replace the mating electrical component.
1992-93:
Speed-control deactivation switch can develop short that could potentially result in underhood fire.
1992-98 Grand Marquis w/speed control system:
The speed control deactivation switch may, under certain conditions, leak internally and then overheat, smoke, or burn. This could result in an underhood fire. Dealers will install a fused wiring harness.
1994:
Nuts and bolts that attach rear brake adapter to axle-housing flange can loosen, allowing damage to ABS sensor, hydraulic line, or parking-brake cable.
1995:
Heads of rivets holding rear-outboard seatbelt D-rings may fracture under load, reducing belt's restraining capability in an accident.
1995:
Noncycling power-window circuit breaker and cycling-type headlamp breaker were interchanged; in the event of short or overload in circuit, both headlamps can go out without warning.
1995:
Seal between fuel-filler pipe and fuel tank may not be fully cured, which could allow fuel to leak.
1995:
Some passenger-side airbags may not inflate properly; also, igniter end cap can separate, causing hot gases to be released.
1996:
Driver's door, when closed only to secondary latched position, may not sustain the specified 1000-pound transverse load.
1996-2000:
Replacement seatbelts made by TRW and sold by Ford may not restrain occupant in a collision.
1997 w/traction control:
Rear brake line may chafe and brake fluid leakage may occur; brake pedal may develop "spongy" feel and stopping distance could be affected.
1998-2000:
Jacking instructions are incorrect and, if followed, could allow vehicle to drop suddenly.
2000:
During high-load conditions (ice, snow, or other debris), windshield wipers could become inoperative with no advance warning.
2000:
Left-rear seatbelt-retractor attaching bolts may have been incorrectly tightened.
2000:
Loose module could result in delayed airbag deployment.
2001:
A restraint-control module (RCM) or a side- or front-crash sensor may have been assembled with one or more of the screws that mount the circuit board in the housing missing.
2001:
Driver- and/or outboard front-passenger's seatbelt buckle may not fully latch. In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide adequate occupant protection.
2005:
Battery cable's fusible link on some cars may contact and subsequently chafe on cross-member bolt, which may result in heat damage and possible fire.
2007:
The windshield may not be properly secured to the vehicle body, resulting in wind noise, squeak/rattles, and/or water leaks. Dealers will replace the windshield.
