| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1994 | POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL | OIL LEAK AT THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL/INPUT SHAFT. NLM |
| 1995 | STEERING:RACK AND PINION | THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT HAS NOT BEEN CHECKED AT THIS TIME SO THE EXACT FAILURE IS UNCERTAIN. THIS FAILURE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO FAILURES EXPERIENCED BY 1995 LINCOLN TOWNCARS WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED IN NHTSA: 96V135000 AND NHTSA: 98V322000, HOWEVER, FMC ADVISED ME THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THOSE RECALLS. IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE INVESTIGATION INTO FAULTY STEERING LINKAGES OF 95 LINCOLN TOWNCARS SHOULD BE EXPANDED. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE ME WITH ALL FAILED COMPONENTS. IF NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE COMPONENTS, I WILL MAKE THEM AVAILABLE. *AK |
