2015 LINCOLN MKZ Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Lincoln MKZ has 9 recalls, the most serious being a steering wheel that can detach while driving and front brake hoses that can rupture and leak fluid, both of which can make the vehicle difficult or impossible to stop or steer. Two additional steering recalls cover corrosion that can cause the electric power steering motor to separate from the gear housing, forcing the driver to steer with no power assist, particularly noticeable at low speeds. These recalls apply to vehicles registered in specific states where road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion. On the restraint side, the front seatbelt anchor cable can fail during a crash when the pretensioner fires, leaving the belt unable to hold the occupant. A separate door latch recall covers vehicles registered in warmer, coastal states, where the latch can corrode and allow a door to swing open while moving. There are also two lighting recalls: parking lights that stay at daytime running light intensity when the headlights are on can temporarily blind oncoming drivers, and a related compliance issue covers the same lighting behavior under Canadian safety standards.
