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 airbag and brake-assist recall repair completion.
- Request front passenger seat and trailer brake/light repair records.
- Test reverse lights and cameras; ask about braking and collision-assist faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
