- Notes
- Possibility that the starter cable and starting circuit wire assemblies wereimproperly routed permitting the surrounding protective sleev to chafe againstthe forward edge of the front suspension right control arm.if conditionexists, the movement can wear through the protective sleeve and the cable andor wire insulation and result in a battery voltage short to the upper arm.should this occur, the vehicle could immediately be rendered inoperative withthe simulataneous loss of all electrical system power.(correct by inspectingand replacing cables where necessary).

Has your Lincoln been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
