What is a Lincoln Recall?
A Lincoln recall occurs when the manufacturer identifies a defect or safety concern that could put the driver, passengers, or others on the road at risk. In some cases, government agencies may step in to ensure corrective action is taken.
When a recall is issued, Lincoln takes steps to address the issue, either through repairs, parts replacement, or even a refund if necessary. These help to prevent accidents, injuries, and further complications related to vehicle defects.
By performing a vehicle history check, you can see any active recalls and ensure your Lincoln is up-to-date with essential safety and performance updates.
Types of Lincoln Recalls
There are three main types of recalls that car owners and buyers need to be aware of. They are:
- Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs): Technical service bulletins are issued to dealerships and mechanic shops to inform them about an anticipated increase in vehicle repairs. They simply alert dealers/mechanics and not car owners directly.
- Voluntary Recalls: These recalls are issued as soon as Lincoln spots problems with a vehicle’s parts or components that could possibly affect the safety of the driver, passenger, and other road users. These recalls never expire, and repairs are often free.
- Mandatory Recalls: Mandatory recalls are not as common as the others on this list. They are demanded by the NHTSA when a defect is discovered in a vehicle. These recalls require full disclosure by the manufacturer or parts manufacturer, and repairs are free.
Recalls can also be grouped based on the nature of the defect into:
- Safety recalls: These recalls fix problems that affect the safety of the vehicle, such as problems with the steering, fuel systems, airbags, etc.
- Non-safety recalls: These target issues that don’t directly impact safety, like air conditioners or radios.
