Buying a used 2020 Lincoln Navigator? Check these 13 recalls first

13 NHTSA recalls · 31 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2020 Navigator has 13 recalls in this group. Battery fire risk with a park-outside instruction stands out, alongside seat belt locking and transmission Park system failures. Camera, collision-assist, wiper and headrest issues also appear; manual instructions and an airbag warning label account for documentation items. The 31 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 17 involving power train, 4 electrical system and 3 seat belts, with 2 crashes and 2 fires 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. Verify battery fire recall completion and applicable park-outside instructions.
  3. Request seat belt and transmission Park recall repair records.
  4. Ask about shifting problems and test cameras, wipers and collision-assist warnings.
  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.
