What Happened
The fuel rail shield in your Lincoln Town Car limousine is a protective cover that keeps fuel lines safe during a crash. Unfortunately, it was left off during manufacturing in some 2008-2011 models.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in an accident and this shield is missing, the fuel lines could bend or break, leading to a fuel leak. If there's an ignition source nearby, this could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will provide the necessary parts and instructions to install the missing fuel rail shield, and they'll do it for free. You can choose a repair shop to do the work at your convenience.
