Buying a used 2019 Lincoln MKC? Check these 3 recalls first
Two critical fire-related recalls apply: a battery monitor sensor that can ignite under the hood, which carried a park-outside warning, and engine block heaters that can catch fire. A backup camera recall is also open. The complaint volume is notable for the year: 117 unverified NHTSA reports, of which 88 cite the engine, followed by electrical system and back over prevention. Those reports include 1 crash and 2 fires; they are owner-submitted and not verified.
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.
- Verify the battery sensor and block heater recalls were performed by VIN
- Request service records for engine work, given the heavy engine complaint pattern
- Check the backup camera display and look for evidence of under-hood heat damage
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
