2026 Lincoln Navigator

The 2026 Lincoln Navigator has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the driver's power seat, which can shift position unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, reducing the driver's ability to reach the pedals and steering wheel.

The seat issue stems from a software malfunction in the obstacle detection system that controls the driver seat's movement. At low speeds, the seat can reverse on its own, potentially pulling the driver away from a comfortable and controlled driving position mid-trip. On the exterior lighting side, the trailer wiring connection can fail to pass a signal to a towed trailer, meaning the trailer's brake lights and turn signals may not activate when the driver brakes or signals a turn. This leaves following drivers with no warning of the vehicle's intentions, and it also reduces the driver's ability to trigger the trailer's brakes in an urgent stop. There is a third recall covering seats and restraints, though no detailed description is available beyond a noted risk of loss of control.
