• Recall 2019281 [Canada]: Suspension
  Issue: on certain vehicles, a buildup of dirt and mud could cause the rear suspension toe links to break. This could result in a sudden loss of vehicle stability. Note: this problem affects vehicles operated in alberta, saskatchewan and manitoba. The unique soil properties in this region could make a toe link more likely to break. Safety risk: a loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install improved rear suspension toe links.

• Recall 2015224 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, a fault in the electric power steering (eps) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will affect repairs as necessary and will reprogram the eps controller with updated software. In the event that an eps fault occurs, this updated software would allow for continued eps function while displaying visual and audible warnings to the driver until the end of the drive cycle.

• Recall 2015035 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, the return spring within the interior door handle assembly could become unseated, resulting in an interior handle that does not return to the fully stowed position after actuation. This could allow a door to unlatch during a side impact crash, which could increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant. Correction: dealers will inspect, and repair or replace the interior handles as necessary.

• RSK-FRD017: 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS MKT / 4-Button Smart Key / PN: 164-R7032 / M3N5WY8406 (OEM Refurb)
  FCC ID: M3N5WY8406

I have an exceptionally large amount of moisture in the passenger headlamp assembly. I've had it checked at 3 different body shops, including a lincoln one here in tulsa. All 3 shops couldn't figure out where the moisture is coming from. I have seen this on a couple of other lincoln mkss. On the other automobiles that i have seen their peers to be no damage anywhere as is the case with mine. My concern is the moisture is going to get to the bulb or get bulb socket and cause of to short. It seems hardly fair that a vehicle that is only 8 years old but under a hundred thousand miles on it is already having issues that are very expensive and seem to be the fault of the manufacturing process. This has been going on for about 4 months now.

Driving down the road and out of nowhere the temp gauge spikes to hot. I was able to pull over off the side of the road and the car smelled very strongly of coolant. After getting the car home and upon further inspection i determined that the internal water pump failed. This is a recurring problem with the duretec engines. No warning from the manufacturer or the dealer who sold me the car. There is currently a class action law suit addressing this issue. A recall on this part needs to happen.

Outside temp 27 f. Opened front passenger door and it would not stay shut. Had to use rope to tie passenger door to rear door behind driver to keep it shut so i could go to eye doctor, a three hour drive away. As temperature has risen, it seems to be latching to stay shut now, but i do not trust it.

Loud popping and cracking noise coming from speakers even when the audio is powered off. I tried to update my sync system, but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. I have call the manufacture for help, but they were able to provide 0 assistance. This happens randomly, more in the evening or night time. While the car is both stationary and in motion.

The car stutters on soft acceleration while pulling out or increase in velocity when going up hill or on upgrades. Premature valve cover leaking into spark plugs and soaking ignition packs overheating prematurely while in slow moving to moderate traffic intermitten wipers defective when i acquired it

I stopped the car in my garage and pushed the keyless ignition button, but did not put the car in park. I exited the car and it slowly coasted down the driveway and into a deep gully.. The damage to the car from the accident and the wreckers getting it out of the gully was $14,400. I have since learned most well-engineered cars, excluding ford/lincoln, lock the breaks or put the car into park if the keyless ignition button is pushed before the car is put into park. (examples of well engineered cars include bmw and toyota prius with respect to this issue.) this is a major engineering safety issue. A driver can park a ford product on a hill, push the ignition button to turn off the engine, but not put the car in park, and exit the car and the car will coast down the hill hitting anything or anybody in its path. I believe ford should engineer their cars so this oversight will not result in substantial property damage or, worse, death of innocent people. Clearly other manufacturers have chosen to deal with this safety issue. *tr
