The 2007 Lincoln Town Car has 3 recalls, all centered on steering and front-end components, with the most serious risk being a front wheel that can detach from the vehicle while driving.
Two of the recalls involve the front hub assemblies. A crack can develop in the hub where the wheel mounts, and as that crack progresses, the wheel can pull away from its mounting point and be held in place only by the brake caliper, which is not designed to carry that load. Before full separation, drivers may notice noise from the front end and a shudder through the steering wheel. The third recall applies specifically to vehicles where the upper intermediate steering shaft was replaced during a prior repair campaign, as that service procedure could leave the shaft improperly installed. A shaft that is not correctly seated can separate from the steering column, cutting off the driver's ability to steer the vehicle entirely.
