Buying a used 2021 Lincoln Navigator? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2021 Navigator has 12 recalls in this group. Engine fire risk carries a park-outside instruction, while side airbag failure, fuel pump stalling, seat belt locking and transmission Park faults warrant close attention. Camera, wiper and moonroof deflector recalls accompany manual and warning-label omissions. Its 32 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports: 8 concern the engine, 6 power train, and 4 each fuel/propulsion system and fuel system. Reports include 2 crashes.
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 engine fire recall repairs and applicable park-outside instructions.
- Request fuel pump, side airbag, seat belt and Park system repair records.
- Ask about stalling and test rearview camera and wiper 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.
