Buying a used 2021 Lincoln Navigator? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2021 Navigator's critical recall is an engine compartment fire risk that carries park-outside advice; no recall tells owners to stop driving. High-severity campaigns cover possibly faulty side airbag sensors, a fuel pump failure that can stall the engine, front seat belts that can lock, and roll-away risk. Wiper arms, two camera recalls and a moonroof wind deflector fill out the list. NHTSA holds 32 unverified complaints, 2 crashes, no fires, led by engine and fuel items.
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.
- Confirm the engine compartment fire-risk recall repair before storing it in a garage
- Verify the fuel pump and side airbag sensor recalls on this VIN
- Check for stalling history, airbag warning lights, and camera function
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
