Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Protect Against Safety Risks
The five NHTSA recalls involve safety concerns that deserve prompt attention. Axle shaft defects may allow a halfshaft to disengage, causing loss of power to the wheels or vehicle rollaway, while a failed support bracket may affect Park function and cause unintended movement. On performance-equipped vehicles, fractured rear toe links can suddenly change handling. A fuel pump module problem may stall the engine or prevent starting, and corroded license plate lamp assemblies may short and increase fire risk. Waiting can leave these conditions unresolved while you drive. A free VIN check identifies whether your exact Taurus requires a manufacturer remedy.
