Navigator

  • miles
Fire inside of the motor, behind the engine computer. Upon researching recalls for Lincoln Navigators I found these other recalls online for possibly the same fire issue: "Ford has issued a recall for some of its 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to a potential engine fire risk. Over 65,000 2021-year model vehicles manufactured between December 2020 and April 2021 have been affected." "We've discovered a vehicle safety issue in some 2021 model-year Lincoln Navigator? vehicles built from July 30, 2020 to August 31, 2021. Some of these vehicles have experienced an under-hood fire, even while parked and off."

Navigator 8-cyl

  • 89,573 miles
While driving my 2005 Lincoln Navigator the vehicle stopped in the middle of traffic without any warning. Eventually restarted the vehicle and took it to the dealer. The problem was a faulty throttle body assembly. We had to get the throttle body assembly replaced. The old part is not available.
