The 1997 Ford Thunderbird has 2 recalls, both involving aftermarket exterior lamp assemblies that are missing required amber side reflectors, reducing how visible the vehicle is to other drivers.
Two separate aftermarket lamp products sold as replacements for this vehicle lack the amber side reflectors required by federal lighting standards. Without those reflectors, other drivers have less warning of the vehicle's position, particularly from the side, which raises the risk of a collision. These recalls apply to replacement lamps, so owners who have had their exterior lighting swapped out with aftermarket parts should verify whether the installed lamps include proper amber side reflectors.
