Recalls are something that happen from time to time with every major auto manufacturer. It’s important to stay informed about any of these recalls that might affect your vehicle. Lincoln sends out notices to inform owners of recalls, but it’s always good to have a backup, so you can be absolutely sure that there isn’t any kind of potential safety issue that needs to be addressed. Fortunately, we have a system in place for double-checking.

How Do I Know If My Vehicle Has A Recall?

The first way most people learn of a recall for their Lincoln vehicle is a letter or email from Lincoln. These are effective, but there’s no notification system that will be able to reach everyone all of the time. That’s why Lincoln has a recall checker, which contains all the recall information for every Lincoln vehicle, and all you need to look up any potential recalls for your vehicle is the VIN. Alternatively, you can search by year and model, but this is less precise, as not every recall applies to every vehicle produced in a given model year. An easier method of searching is to log into your online Lincoln account and simply select the vehicle or vehicles that you own and wish to check.

What Do I Do If There Is A Recall For My Vehicle?

Should there be a recall for your vehicle, it is strongly advised that you schedule a service visit as soon as possible. Give us a call at (708) 982-7234 first, to be sure that the recall applies to your vehicle and that the parts needed to perform the repair will be in stock when you bring the vehicle in. Different recalls take different amounts of time, so our service team will also be able to advise you on what kind of wait to expect when you call.

What Do Recall Repairs Cost?

Recall repairs are always free of charge, even for vehicles that are no longer covered under the factory warranty. Recalls also don’t expire, so long as the vehicle isn’t so old that the parts are no longer being manufactured, then we can perform the repair.
