4 recalls across 2 model years
The Mercury Monarch has 4 recalls covering the 1976-1977 model years, with the most serious affecting 1976 models where mismatched front suspension components can cause the upper control arms to fully separate from the body, resulting in complete loss of steering.
The 1976 two-door models equipped with a continuous-loop shoulder belt system have an anchorage point that may not hold under the load of a crash, meaning the belt can fail to restrain the occupant when it matters most. There is also a separate suspension issue on some 1976 models where the right front strut is a 1975-specification part, leaving that corner of the suspension with components that do not match the car's design. The only 1977 recall covers vehicles with the 250 cubic inch engine that may not meet Canadian exhaust emissions standards.
