The 2025 Lincoln Corsair has 10 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on plug-in hybrid models where a failing cell can cut drive power or start a fire. Also on plug-in hybrid models, the engine block heater can overheat while the vehicle is parked and plugged in, which also raises a fire risk. The EGR valve can fail on certain gas and hybrid engine variants, causing a sudden loss of drive power.
Rear passenger seatbelt retractors may not be properly fastened, which means the belts may not hold an occupant in a crash. On the visibility side, windshield glass on some vehicles has air bubbles that can obstruct the driver's view, and the instrument panel cluster may fail to light up at startup or while driving, leaving the driver without a speedometer or warning indicators. Rear lighting is also a concern: water can get into the rear combination lamps and knock out the brake lights, reverse lights, tail lights, or turn signals, making the vehicle harder to read from behind.
