What 2022 Lincoln Corsair Phev owners say
Electrical system
The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Corsair. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V954000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 73 MPH, the vehicle independently decelerated to approximately 60 MPH. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle had approximately 15 miles of hybrid battery; however, the vehicle independently switched to the fuel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission oil pump had independently switched to Safe Mode and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. …
I am filing a complaint regarding the outcome of Safety Recall 25SC4 on my vehicle. Following the completion of the recall service at the dealership on 9/11/2026, my vehicle's electric driving range immediately suffered an approximate 25% reduction from the previous week charging capacity. There are no warning lights on the dashboard. Upon returning the vehicle to the authorized Lincoln dealership on 10/5/2026 to report this severe drop in performance, the service department stated "no repair" could be performed and that the vehicle was operating as intended. While I understand the recall involves safety software modifications to mitigate battery short circuits, a permanent 25% reduction in advertised electric capability (no longer charges up to 13 kwh for a 100% charge as it did prior to the recall) severely degrades the vehicle's utility and value. …
Engine & cooling
Our 2022 Corsair Hybrid has been at Haldeman Ford in Kutztown, PA since October 29th. We will not drive it to our house because it is unsafe at any speed. The engine in this car has suddenly failed at least seven or eight times while being driven. At least three of these failures occurred when being driven by different Haldeman Ford technicians. They saw nothing that would explain the engine's sudden catastrophic failure. The technicians cannot find out what is wrong with the vehicle and agree that the vehicle is dangerous to drive. Prior recall for engine failure stated that the car was not to be driven but also not to be plugged in because there was risk of fire. That recall is proof that the car was a lemon from the day it left the factory. It has been gently driven and has less than 16,000 miles. …

After driving for ten hours, I parked. The next morning, the SUV started normally. One minute later, the check engine light came on, citing "air may be in present in the cooling system". Then, the 'engine coolant over-temperature' warning came on less than two hours later. I took itto the dealer the next morning. They charged me to diagnose the situation. The coolant hose for the electric motor broke underneath the car. It caused the electric motor to overheat, which could lead to a fire. Had this happened in a remote area, occupants can become stranded.
