2015 LINCOLN MKC Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Lincoln MKC has 9 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: an engine block heater on 2.3L turbocharged models that can overheat and ignite, and a battery monitor sensor that can short-circuit and catch fire even while the vehicle is parked. The engine block heater issue, which only affects vehicles with the 2.3L turbocharged engine, can also cause coolant to leak or damage the heater's electrical connector before a fire develops. The battery monitor sensor concern is separate and can occur whether the car is running or sitting in a driveway. On the ignition side, the push-to-start/stop button sits at the base of the gear shifter and can be pressed accidentally, cutting the engine without warning while the vehicle is moving. A related fuel delivery defect on certain vehicles can cause a drop in fuel pressure that stalls the engine, also raising crash risk. Finally, some early-production windshields may have air bubbles trapped in the glass that can impair the driver's sightlines.
