Summary
This is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. However, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the Agency. Ford is initiating an owner notification program for owners of certain 1995-1997 Crown Victoria model vehicles with police, taxi, and commercial fleet packages and town car vehicles with the livery package. These vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the brake line and the underbody front floor pan assembly which could cause wear of the brake lines.
Actions
Dealers will inspect the brake lines for wear, install two new tube bundle clips, and check the brake lines for proper clearances. If the brake lines are worn, the damaged section of the brake line will be replaced.
