2017 LINCOLN MKZ Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Lincoln MKZ has 4 recalls, with two tied as the most serious: the steering wheel retaining bolt can loosen and allow the steering wheel to detach while driving, and on models with the 2.0L engine and six-speed automatic transmission, the torque converter can separate from the engine, causing a sudden loss of drive power. Both of these issues raise crash risk in different ways — losing steering control entirely, or losing the ability to accelerate out of a dangerous situation. On the brake side, the front brake hoses can rupture and leak fluid, which lengthens the distance needed to stop the vehicle. All four recalls carry the same severity rating, so none of these issues should be treated as minor.
