2008 Ford Crown Victoria & 2007 Lincoln Town CAR + 1 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, a front wheel bearing and hub assembly may fracture due to improper heat treatment.
💥 The risk
If a hub fractures, it may potentially detach from the wheel knuckle, resulting in the wheel being retained only by the brake caliper assembly. As a result, the wheel may separate from the vehicle potentially resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect both front wheel bearing and hub assemblies and replace them free of charge. The recall began on june 22, 2007. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
