Buying a used 2018 Lincoln Continental? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 19 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Lincoln Continental has 2 recalls in this group: doors that may open while driving and a rearview camera that may fog. Door retention is the standout concern, while camera image clarity is the other specific recall issue. The 19 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 5 latches/locks/linkages, 4 electrical system, 4 unknown or other, and 4 back over prevention reports. These categories make door operation and camera performance concrete areas to examine alongside recall repair documentation.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Obtain proof that the door-opening recall repair was completed.
3. Check every door for consistent closing, latching, and locking.
4. Verify camera recall completion and inspect the image for fogging.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
