On certain vehicles, a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity may have been inadvertently installed during servicing for recall 2005028 or 2007258. As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the input power feed circuit, and will not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground. This could result in a vehicle fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an updated wiring harness.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The failure mode appears to be different than that of Recall 2005028 (05S28). This time, the concern is with long term durability performance issues causing the switch to fail. Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a fused wiring harness designed to eliminate the potential risk of fire.

Note: 1996-99 crown victoria police, fleet and ngv and lincoln town car limousine equipped with a lower control arm ball joint containing a one piece bearing and 1990-96 crown victoria police, fleet and ngv and lincoln town car limousine that were serviced with either a ball joint containing an one piece bearing or a front lower control arm with a one piece bearing. High bearing loads can lead to thinning and eventual cracking of the lower control arm ball joint. This can result in separation of the ball and cap of the joint. Should this occur, the control arm to which the cap is mounted will drop to the ground. Should this occur while the vehicle is moving, reduced steering control could result in a collision. Correction: Lower control arm ball joints will be replaced.

NOTE: POLICE PACKAGE VEHICLES ONLY. THE BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARMS TO THE FRAME MOUNTING BRACKETS MAY LOOSEN WHEN SUBJECTED TO EXTREME OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRACKET TO FRACTURE AT ONE OF THE BOLT HOLES, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIAL NEGATIVE CAMBER TO THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WHEEL AND A STEERING "PULL" TO THE COURSE OF VEHICLE TRAVEL. IF A VEHICLE WITH A LOOSE BRACKET ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE OPERATED UNTIL THE BRACKET FRACTURED AT BOTH BOLT HOLES, THE STEERING CONTROL ARM COULD CONTACT THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: TORQUE LEVELS OF THE FOUR UPPER CONTROL ARM BOLTS WILL BE CHECKED. IF ANY OF THE BOLTS ARE LOOSE, THE BRACKET(S) WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS PRESENT IT WILL BE REPAIRED.
