The 1993 Ford Thunderbird has 3 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: an ignition switch that can short internally and overheat or smoke in the steering column, and a fuel line that can leak and ignite if a spark or other ignition source is nearby.
The fuel line recall applies only to vehicles originally sold or registered in certain northeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic states, where corrosion from road conditions is more likely to affect the fuel delivery components. On the visibility side, vehicles equipped with fog lights may experience a circuit breaker that opens intermittently, causing the headlights to flicker or cut out entirely for unpredictable stretches of time while driving at night.
