Transport Canada lists: Crown 2005–2011 · Town Car 2005–2011 · Grand 2005–2011

What is wrong

Certain vehicles serviced as part of recall 2013-287 (13S08) or special service campaign 13R01 may require re-inspection and repair. The service procedure may have resulted in over-extension of one part of a collapsible joint in the intermediate steering shaft. This could potentially result in the shaft becoming disconnected, resulting a loss of steering, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the intermediate shaft connection and replace the intermediate shaft if necessary.

27 August 2013

Transport Canada lists: Crown 2005–2011 · Town Car 2005–2011 · Grand 2005–2011

What is wrong

On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the steering column lower intermediate shaft can become severely corroded. This could cause the swing link joint to become stiff or seized. As a result, the upper intermediate shaft could collapse, allowing the steering column lower bearing to separate, causing a loss of steering capability. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the steering lower intermediate shaft. The upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired or replaced. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed.

Transport Canada lists: Crown 2008

What is wrong

On certain Crown Victoria Police Interceptor vehicles equipped with bucket seats, the designated seating capacity on the tire information placard was incorrectly identified as six total (three front; three rear) instead of five total (two front; three rear).

What the dealer will do

Since this does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

15 June 2007

Transport Canada lists: Crown 2008 · Town Car 2007 · Grand 2008

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, improper heat treatment of the front hub assemblies may allow the development of a circumferential crack on the roll formed end of the hub when vehicle loading is applied. This condition can result in axial movement of the wheel, causing front end noise and steering wheel shudder, and the potential for wheel detachment and/or loss of steering control resulting in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the front hub assemblies.
