Buying a used 2018 Lincoln MKT? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Lincoln MKT has 2 recalls in this group: a rear toe link that may fracture and B-pillar door trim that can detach. These make suspension repair documentation and trim condition the central recall checks. Its 7 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 3 for structure, 3 categorized as unknown or other, 1 for fuel/propulsion and 1 for back-over prevention. Reported outcomes are 0 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries; complaint categories can overlap.
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.
- Request proof of rear toe-link recall completion.
- Inspect B-pillar door trim attachment and verify its recall repair.
- Ask about fuel-system concerns and reported rearview camera problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
