Buying a used 2018 Lincoln Continental? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Continental has a short recall list: a high-severity one for doors that may not latch shut properly, and a medium one for rearview cameras that fog. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The 19 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA line up with those areas, with latches/locks/linkages the single largest category, followed by electrical, back-over prevention, and unspecified issues. One crash is reported among those complaints, with no fires and no injuries.
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.
- Confirm the door latch recall was completed and open and close all four doors
- Inspect the rearview camera on a cold or damp morning for fogging
- Ask the seller whether any door has ever failed to stay latched or shown an ajar warning
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
