NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator has 7 recalls, the most serious involving a passenger-side airbag that can deploy with excessive force in a crash, raising the risk of injury to the front passenger.
On the braking side, the electronic brake booster can malfunction while driving or when driver assistance features are active, causing a loss of power brake assist and extending stopping distances. Two separate electrical issues affect lighting: a cracked rear lightbar lens can let moisture in and cause the reverse lights to fail or flicker, leaving other drivers unaware the vehicle is backing up, and the trailer light circuit can fail to power trailer lights or trailer brakes, reducing trailer visibility and the driver's ability to control it. There is also a software-related concern where the rearview camera image and certain driver assistance features can drop out, reducing the driver's ability to spot hazards behind the vehicle.
