1987 MERCURY SABLE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1987 Mercury Sable has 2 recalls, both rated equally serious: the steering column can separate without warning and cause complete loss of steering, and a rear spindle stem can bend or break and cause sudden loss of vehicle control. The steering concern involves the lower steering shaft, which may not be properly attached to its connection point on the steering column. If it separates while driving, the steering wheel loses contact with the front wheels entirely. On the suspension side, one or both rear spindle stems may not be hardened to the correct specification and can bend or fracture under load, potentially causing a wheel to separate from the vehicle.
