Lincoln MKX

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear brake hoses could fail and cause a progressive brake fluid leak. If this happens, there could be reduced braking. 
Note: This problem could cause a change in brake pedal feel and travel. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace or reroute the rear brake hoses, as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display or to freeze when the transmission is shifted into reverse.  

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.   

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the SYNC software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Ford dealership.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. 

Safety Risk: 
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. 

Corrective Action: 
Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. 
Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the front link shaft (intermediate shaft) bracket can break. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels. Also, if this happens and the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could roll away. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A loss of power to the wheels or a vehicle rollaway could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front link shaft bracket.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses could fail, causing a progressive brake fluid leak. If this happens, the driver may experience a change in brake pedal feel and travel. This can cause reduced brake performance. 
Note: A brake fluid leak would cause the brake warning light to turn on. 

Safety Risk: 
Reduced brake performance could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front brake hoses.
