The 1990 Ford Thunderbird has two recalls, the more serious being battery cables that are longer than specified and can rub against the engine pulley, wearing through the insulation and potentially starting an underhood fire.
The second recall affects only vehicles with an automatic transmission and the 3.8L supercharged engine, and is a compliance matter: the emission control information decal in the engine bay displays incorrect data.
