The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a new investigation of the Ford Crown Victoria, centering on the vehicle’s rear axle design. The latest probe also covers Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car sedans. A total of 287,819 vehicles from the 2003 model year are involved, including civilian models and the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. In the last two years, the sedan has been the subject of numerous lawsuits and safety complaints from police departments. The police reported four separate incidents in which Crown Victoria axles had fractured or the rear-wheel assembly had separated.
