The 2008 Lincoln Town Car has 2 recalls of equal severity, including a steering shaft that can separate and cause a complete loss of steering control.
The steering concern applies to vehicles where the upper intermediate shaft was previously replaced as part of an earlier repair: if that service was done incorrectly, the shaft can come apart while driving, leaving the driver unable to steer. The other recall applies specifically to limousine models and involves a missing fuel rail shield. Without it, a frontal collision can bend or rupture fuel lines, and the resulting fuel leak can lead to a fire.
