Buying a used 2021 Lincoln Corsair? Check these 22 recalls first
22 NHTSA recalls · 34 owner complaints on file
This year's list is dominated by fire and power-loss issues. Five critical recalls apply, including engine fire risk, hybrid engine fires, a hybrid battery short circuit, block heater fires, and one covering a prior repair that left the fire risk unresolved. High-severity items add rear axle lubricant loss, stalling, and three separate recalls for loss of drive power. The 34 unverified NHTSA complaints skew to unspecified, back-over prevention, electrical, and power train, and include two reported 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.
- Check whether the earlier fire-risk repair was redone under the follow-up recall, not just the original
- Ask about any stalling or sudden loss of drive power, and confirm all drive-power recalls are closed
- Have the rear axle inspected for lubricant loss and review hybrid battery service records
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
