What Happened
The fuel rail shield in your Lincoln Town Car limousine is a protective covering that keeps fuel lines safe in case of an accident. Unfortunately, one was left off during manufacturing.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a front-end crash, the fuel lines could bend or break, spilling fuel onto hot engine parts. This could cause a fire if an ignition source is present.
Free Fix
Executive Coach will provide a repair kit and instructions to fix the issue at a shop of your choice, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
