Manufactured:
10/13/1996 - 10/16/1996
Affected:
742
Defect:
Two bolts that attach the driver air bag to the steering wheel were not installed during vehicle assembly.
Consequence:
In the event of a frontal collision, the air bag module would stay in position during deployment. however, the module could leave the steering wheel cavity following air bag deployment.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the vehicles and install any bolts that are missing.

Campaign:
98I001000 on 06/04/1998
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Affected:
167,742
Defect:
This is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. however, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. ford is initiating an owner notification program for owners of certain 1995-1997 crown victoria model vehicles with police, taxi, and commercial fleet packages and town car vehicles with the livery package. these vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the brake line and the underbody front floor pan assembly which could cause wear of the brake lines.
Consequence:
This could lead to brake fluid loss for the rear brakes and, potentially, increased stopping distances.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the brake lines for wear, install two new tube bundle clips, and check the brake lines for proper clearances. if the brake lines are worn, the damaged section of the brake line will be replaced.
Notes:
Note:ford has decided to conduct a safety improvement service campaign to inspect the brake lines without charge.owners can contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Defect:
Vehicle description: certain 1996-1999 ford crown victoria police, fleet, natural gas, and 1996-1999 lincoln town car limousine vehicles that were produced with a lower control arm ball joint containing a one piece bearing; and 1990-1996 ford crown victoria police, fleet, and ngv vehicles and 1990-1996 lincoln town car limousine vehicles that have been serviced with either a ball joint containing the one-piece bearing or a front lower control arm containing a ball joint with a one-piece bearing. the one-piece bearing within the lower control arm ball joint can weaken slowly during use and eventually crack. this could result in separation of the ball and cap of the joint, allowing the control arm to drop to the ground.
Consequence:
If this occurs while the vehicle is moving, reduced steering control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the lower control arm ball joints (2).
