The 2019 Lincoln MKX has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic transmission's start/stop accumulator, where loose or missing bolts can cause transmission fluid to leak and eventually lead to a total loss of transmission function.
Two electrical and display issues make up the remaining recalls. The instrument cluster can fail to show anything at the start of a drive, leaving the driver without speed readings or safety system warnings, raising the risk of a crash. A prior repair attempt for this issue did not fully resolve the problem on some vehicles. There is also a software concern affecting the rearview camera, which can display a blank image when reversing, reducing visibility behind the vehicle.
