2010 LINCOLN TOWN CAR Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Lincoln Town Car has two recalls of equal severity, one involving a fire risk after a frontal collision and one where the steering shaft can separate and cause a complete loss of steering control. The fire risk applies specifically to limousine models: a fuel rail shield was left off during manufacturing, and in a frontal impact the unprotected fuel lines can bend or rupture and leak fuel, which can ignite if an ignition source is present. The steering concern affects vehicles where the upper intermediate shaft was previously serviced as part of an earlier repair campaign; that prior service may not have been performed correctly, leaving the shaft vulnerable to separating from the steering column and removing all steering input from the driver.
