2016 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Recalls — Canada & USA
Summary
The 2016 Lincoln Navigator has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk from the LED logo lights on the exterior mirrors, which can short circuit and ignite.
A separate fire risk comes from the front blower motor, located behind the glove box, which can also fail and cause an interior fire. On the braking side, this recall only affects Navigator models with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine: brake fluid can leak from the master cylinder into the brake booster, reducing front brake performance and causing the pedal to feel soft or require more effort to press, which extends stopping distances.

On certain trucks equipped with a 3.5 L Ecoboost engine, brake fluid could leak from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster. This can cause reduced front brake performance, and the driver may experience increased brake pedal travel and increased pedal effort. Full braking function remains in the rear wheel circuit.
Note: Depending on the amount of brake fluid loss, the driver may hear a warning chime and see a red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster. This is an expansion of Ford recall 20S31 (Transport Canada Recall No. 2020-252).
Safety Risk
Reduced front brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the brake master cylinder. The dealer will also replace the brake booster if the brake master cylinder is leaking.
