Buying a used 2018 Lincoln MKX? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 30 owner complaints on file

Brakes are the recurring theme: separate high-rated recalls cover front brake hoses that may burst and a rear brake hose that may leak. A critical recall addresses power cables that may arc with fire risk, and two more cover power seats damaging airbag wiring and doors that may open in a crash. Of 30 unverified NHTSA owner complaints, service brakes and hydraulic issues are prominent alongside electrical system, with 2 crashes and 1 injury 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 both front and rear brake hose recalls were completed, and inspect hoses for seepage
3. Ask whether the power seat airbag wiring recall was performed; check for airbag warning lights
4. Verify the power cable arcing and door latch recalls by VIN
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.
