Buying a used 2019 Lincoln MKT? Check these 4 recalls first
The critical recall covers power cables that may arc and create a fire risk. Three medium items follow: two separate rearview camera recalls for an image that blanks out, and door pillar trim that can detach while driving. No stop-driving or park-outside warnings were issued. Owner complaints are few at 16 unverified NHTSA reports with no crashes, fires or injuries, but they cluster tightly in back over prevention and structure, mirroring the camera and trim recalls.
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 power cable arcing recall was completed by VIN
- Test the backup camera repeatedly for a blank or dropped image
- Check door pillar trim attachment and look for prior structural repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
