Unknown or Other · reported Jul 1, 2026
Received Safety Recall Notice NHTSA 25V695 in October 2025. Lincoln has not been diligent in providing a timely remedy for replacing the rear view camera in my vehicle. Rear view cameras are not an item that should take 10 months to replace with a new component. NHTSA shouldn't allow car manufacturers to issue Safety related recalls that are not rectified with 120 days. An excuse of "parts are not available" is not acceptable when Lincoln is building new cars with this new rear view camera every day.

Structure · reported Dec 22, 2020
Aluminum hood and wheels are corroding and mileage is beyond original factory warranty and not covered under the certified pre-owned warranty. On the hood there are several spots where the paint is bubbling. This is a well-document issue with ford products since they started putting aluminum parts on their vehicles. On the wheels, corrosion is appearing under the top coat. The vehicle has less than 66,000 miles on it. These many not be safety issues, but it is a big problem that ford/lincoln should be helping their customers with.
