Buying a used 2018 Lincoln MKC? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 72 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2018 Lincoln MKC has 4 recalls in this group. The battery-sensor fire recall carries a park-outside instruction; block-heater fire risk, brake-hose leakage and distorted rearview images are also listed. Engine concerns dominate its 72 NHTSA owner complaints, which are unverified reports: 45 list engine and 9 list engine and engine cooling. Those categories should be read separately. Reported outcomes include 3 crashes, 0 fires and 4 injuries. Engine service history warrants attention alongside recall 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. Verify battery-sensor recall completion and whether park-outside instructions remain applicable.
3. Request brake-hose and block-heater recall repair records.
4. Ask about engine or cooling repairs and test rearview image clarity.
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.
