Recall 95V-194: 1993–1994 Ford Crown Victoria
FORD MOTOR COMPANY recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Oct 11, 1995, covering about 57,000 vehicles.
The problem
The bolts that attach the front upper control arms to the frame mounting brackets can loosen and fracture at one of the bolt holes causing substantial negative camber and steering pull to the affected side.
The risk
If the driver's side bracket fractured at both bolt holes, the steering control arm can contact the steering column shaft and result in a loss of steering control increasing the potential for an accident.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the torque levels of the four upper control arm mounting bolts, and if any are loose, the brackets will be inspected for damage. If damage is present, it will be repaired.
