Before you buy
Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
Obtain a VIN-specific campaign history documenting completed and open recalls.
Request inspection records for fuel lines, wiring, batteries and driveshaft.
Check cameras, park engagement, seat locks, belts and wipers.
Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
108 complaints filed for this model year, including 2 mentioning a crash, 1 a fire and 0 injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and popular models collect more of them simply because more are on the road.
