Lincoln recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 lincoln mkt vehicles with a town car package manufactured from march 6, 2012, through april 3, 2012, which are available only to body builders for upfitting as hearse or livery/limousine vehicles. These vehicles may have been transported with rear brake rotor bolts that are not fully seated allowing the head to protrude above the wheel mounting surface.
What could happen
The raised bolt head could lead to torque loss in the wheel joint, potentially leading to wheel separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
All the affected vehicles have been quarantined at the coach builderâs facilities and will be repaired before delivery to owners. Notices were mailed to the coach builders on may 24, 2012. For more information, owners may contact the ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
