Lincoln Town Car stiff steering issue due to corrosion recall on steering shafts on Lincoln Town Car

Some Lincoln Town Car owners report experiencing severe steering issues due to corrosion on the steering shafts, which has led to recalls and safety concerns. This corrosion can cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and the lower bearing to separate, resulting in an extremely loose steering wheel without warning. Consequently, drivers may find themselves maneuvering cautiously to avoid sudden steering failure. If the lower bearing separates, there is a significant risk of losing steering control, greatly increasing the likelihood of a crash. Ford has issued recalls for certain model years of the Lincoln Town Car, as well as for other vehicles like the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis, due to these steering problems. It is crucial for owners of affected vehicles to stay informed about recalls and field service actions by checking updates using their vehicle identification number (VIN).
