Known issues on the 1990 Town Car. NHTSA lists 2 recalls for the 1990 Town Car. Certain 1990 Town Car limousine vehicles that had been serviced with a front lower ball joint using a single-piece bearing could see that bearing weaken and crack, letting the joint come apart and the arm drop, which hurts steering control; dealers replaced the ball joints. Certain 1990 Town Car vehicles registered or sold in a listed group of states could have the hood latch striker plate corrode loose, so the hood might open while driving. The 209 complaints lean on the electrical system (63) and the engine and cooling (31); 65 reported a fire. Suspension torque values and hood latch procedures address these systems.
