Buying a used 2020 Lincoln Continental? Check these 2 recalls first
The final Continental year has the lightest recall record of the three: two medium-severity rearview camera recalls, one for cameras that fog and one for an image that can go blank. There is no door latch recall for this year, unlike 2018 and 2019. Only 7 unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, spread thinly across unspecified issues, back-over prevention, latches, and service brakes. One injury is reported among those complaints, with no crashes and no fires.
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 both rearview camera recalls were performed by VIN
- Test the backup camera in cold or wet conditions and over several restarts
- Ask whether the seller has had any door latch or brake work done, given complaints in those areas
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
