Buying a used 2025 Lincoln Nautilus? Check these 6 recalls first
The 2025 Nautilus repeats 2024's critical block heater overheating recall and adds high-severity campaigns for headlights that can fail and a loss of driving power shared with the Explorer and Mustang. Two power window auto-reverse recalls and a rearview camera recall round out the list; none advised stopping driving or parking outside. Its 21 unverified NHTSA complaints — 1 crash, 1 injury — cluster in lane departure (6) and forward collision avoidance (5), unusual for this nameplate.
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 loss-of-power and headlight recalls are closed on this VIN
- Test lane keeping and forward collision alerts on the road
- Check both power windows for auto-reverse on an obstruction
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
