NHTSA Recall History
1992-98 Town Car 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.
1998:
Text and/or graphics for headlamp-aiming instructions, provided in owner guides, are not sufficiently clear.
1998-2000:
Jacking instructions are incorrect and, if followed, could result in vehicle dropping suddenly.
1998-99 limousine w/ball joint containing one-piece bearing:
Bearing within lower control-arm ball joint can weaken slowly during use; eventually, crack could result in separation, allowing control arm to drop to ground.
2000-01:
A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper-motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of wiper function or fire.
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 front passenger-outboard seatbelt buckle may not fully latch. In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide adequate occupant protection.
