The 2003 Ford Crown Victoria has 6 recalls, the most serious affecting police and taxi models where steel wheels can develop cracks near the rim weld and rapidly lose air pressure, raising the risk of losing control of the vehicle.
A separate recall on Police Interceptor and Commercial Heavy Duty taxi variants covers a dash insulator that can sag and contact the catalytic converter, potentially causing charring, smoke, or a fire inside the engine compartment. On the electrical side, the lighting control module can fail and cause the headlights to drop from full brightness to reduced daytime running light output, cutting visibility at night without warning.
