Buying a used 2023 Lincoln Navigator? Check these 8 recalls first
The recall list shortens here, but a front axle gear that can break and leaking front brake lines are both serious, and the trailer brake and light campaign carries over. Two separate rearview camera recalls, breaking wiper arms, and two paperwork fixes — a missing airbag warning label and incomplete head restraint instructions — make up the rest. Only six unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, none reporting a crash, fire or injury, mostly electrical.
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.
- Ask whether the front axle gear and front brake line recalls were performed, and look for service records
- Shift through reverse several times to confirm the rearview camera does not freeze or go blank
- Run the wipers at full speed and inspect the wiper arms for the recall repair
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
