2014 LINCOLN MKZ Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Lincoln MKZ has 8 recalls, the most serious involving the steering wheel, which can detach from the shaft while driving and leave the driver with no steering control. Two separate steering concerns exist: one where the retaining bolt can loosen and allow the steering wheel to fully separate, and another where the electric power steering motor can detach from the gear housing, making the wheel significantly harder to turn, particularly at low speeds. On the braking side, the front brake hoses can rupture and leak fluid, increasing pedal travel and extending stopping distances. The transmission range sensor on Hybrid models can malfunction and allow the vehicle to shift out of Park without the brake pedal being pressed, creating a rollaway risk. Door latches on certain vehicles may break internally, leaving a door that feels closed but is not fully secured and can swing open while moving. This door latch concern is addressed across two separate recalls based on regional registration.
