About this page
LINCOLN recall information for owners.
RecallWire currently has 7 published reports that include LINCOLN vehicles from model years 2018–2027. Coverage below explains the affected vehicles, safety concern and stated remedy using official records and clearly identified sources.
Our Lincoln reports include Aviator seat movement, Navigator and Aviator transmission concerns, and Nautilus Hybrid pedestrian-warning software. Some campaigns also list Ford models, so a campaign-wide vehicle total does not describe Lincoln vehicles alone. Model year and equipment can change the required work: the Nautilus Hybrid warning-sound campaign includes an additional module replacement for vehicles with 28 speakers.
A model or year listed here does not confirm that a particular vehicle has an open recall. Check the vehicle identification number through the official NHTSA lookup for vehicle-specific status.

Owner questions
Checking a LINCOLN vehicle for recalls.
How do I know whether my LINCOLN is affected?
Use the official NHTSA recall lookup with your vehicle identification number. A matching model and year cannot establish whether an individual vehicle is included in a campaign.
Does the Aviator seat software update restore the seat-back memory feature?
The revised report for 26V470000 describes a software update that disables seat-back memory movement while retaining adjustment through the standard power switches. It describes motor replacement and restoration of the memory feature under a companion customer satisfaction program. Ask your Lincoln retailer which work applies and is available for your VIN.
Does an earlier Nautilus Hybrid warning-sound repair settle campaign 26V415000?
The linked report says 26V415000 expands the earlier recall 25V691 and requires the new remedy even on vehicles repaired under that earlier recall. It also specifies an additional module replacement for Nautilus Hybrids with 28 speakers. Ask Lincoln to check the exact campaign and equipment against your VIN.
Are recall repairs free?
The official campaign record describes the manufacturer’s remedy and eligibility. Contact an authorized LINCOLN dealer with your VIN to confirm the repair available for your vehicle.
Does this page list every LINCOLN recall?
No. RecallWire’s published reports are editorial coverage. The campaign count on this page comes from our rolling snapshot of official campaign data; Recall Search provides broader campaign coverage. Consult NHTSA and the manufacturer for a vehicle’s current recall status.
