The 1998 Lincoln Town Car has two recalls, the more serious being a limousine-specific tire loading issue where the front axle weight may cause tires to carry more than their rated safe load. The other recall covers headlamp aiming instructions in the owner's guide that are unclear enough to cause confusion during headlamp replacement, which can result in improperly aimed headlights.
