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

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

The standout is a battery monitor sensor that can catch fire under the hood, the only recall here that told owners to park outside until repaired. Engine block heater fires are a second critical item, and a brake fluid leak recall is rated high. A backup camera recall also applies. Owner complaints are heavily engine-focused: of 72 unverified NHTSA reports, 45 cite the engine and 9 engine and engine cooling, with 3 crashes and 4 injuries reported.

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. Confirm the battery sensor park-outside recall was completed by VIN
3. Ask about engine history, coolant loss and any repairs given the complaint pattern
4. Inspect for brake fluid leaks and check pedal feel on a test drive
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.
