SAN FRANCISCO — A specialty car manufacturer is recalling the limousine model involved in a 2013 fire that killed five nurses on a San Francisco Bay Area bridge.
Accubuilt is recalling about 1,000 limousines manufactured between Jan. 2, 1998, and July 21, 2005, because a rubbing driveshaft may increase the risk of fire. It’s unclear if the recall is a result of the California fire in a 1999 Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine.
