The 1993 Ford Taurus has 4 recalls, the most serious being a brake control unit mismatch where an anti-lock brake controller designed for rear-wheel-drive vehicles may have been installed, reducing braking ability and raising the risk of a crash.
A front suspension recall affects vehicles originally sold or registered in certain northern and midwestern states, where a front coil spring can break and contact the tire, deflating it while driving. On the electrical side, the headlight switch contains a circuit breaker that can overheat and trip, causing the headlights to flash or cut out entirely, with longer and more frequent outages the longer the problem goes unaddressed.
