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 fuel pump weld and brake fluid leak recall repairs.
- Confirm rollaway and transmission park recall completion; request power train records.
- Verify seat belt and center seat recalls; check window and camera operation.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
