## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2008038](/recalls/tc/2008038.md), 2008-02-06: Electrical. 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.
- [2007258](/recalls/tc/2007258.md), 2007-08-07: Electrical. 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.
- [1999097](/recalls/tc/1999097.md), 1999-05-19: Engine. Certain vehicles may experience a fire originating in the left front under hood area as a result of electrical overheating of the speed control deactivation switch.  Correction:  A new speed control deactivation switch and connector shell will be installed on affected vehicles.
- [1998251](/recalls/tc/1998251.md), 1998-12-22: Suspension. 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.
- [1997069](/recalls/tc/1997069.md), 1997-04-01: Structure. NOTE: POLICE AND TAXI VEHICLES ONLY. THE HOOD LATCH STRIKER MAY EITHER WEAR OR BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HOOD.  EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN THE HOOD OPENING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED RESULTING IN REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION:  VEHICLES WITH 1992 MODEL HOODS WILL HAVE AN IMPROVED HOOD LATCH STRIKER INSTALLED AND REVISED STRIKER PLATE ATTACHING FASTENERS WILL BE INSTALLED ON VEHICLES WITH 1993\-97 HOODS.
- [1994040](/recalls/tc/1994040.md), 1994-02-22: Electrical. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN UNUSED POWER SEAT HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT WAS POSITIONED ON THE FLOOR MAT UNDER THE SEAT. IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, A BRINE MAY ACCUMULATE ON THE FLOOR MATS AND REPEATEDLY WET THE CONNECTOR. THIS COULD CORRODE THE CONNECTOR AND RESULT IN A SALT BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TERMINALS CAUSING CURRENT FLOW WHICH COULD OVERHEAT THE CONNECTOR WITH RESULTANT FUMES AND A POSSIBLE FIRE. CORRECTION: UNUSED CONNECTORS WILL BE REMOVED AND SEALED HEAT SHRINK CAPS WILL BE PLACED OVER THE AFFECTED WIRES.
- [1992123](/recalls/tc/1992123.md), 1992-09-29: Seats And Restraints. Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSSS. 208 \- seat belt installations.
