The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Executive Coach Builders is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Lincoln Town Car limousines. The recall involves 161 vehicles where the fuel rail shield was left off during manufacturing.

In a frontal impact, the engine could potentially bend or rupture fuel lines if the replacement shield is not in place. This could cause the lines to leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Owners should contact Executive Coach at 888-322-9272 to arrange for the repair. The company will supply kits and installation instructions to have the vehicles repaired at a facility of the owner's choice, free of charge. The safety recall began on December 1, 2010.
