The 2016 Lincoln MKT has 5 recalls, the most serious being a turbocharger oil line that can leak onto hot engine components and start a fire, and a rear suspension toe link that can fracture and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control.
The toe link issue only affects vehicles equipped with the SHO Performance Pack or Police Interceptor package. On the structural side, two recalls cover the same problem: B-pillar door trim on the driver and front passenger sides can detach while driving and become a road hazard. There is also a rearview camera recall where the image can appear distorted, cut out intermittently, or go blank when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
