2020 Lincoln Corsair Complaints

Hello. I recently had to pay CarMax $1,083 to replace my right rear (tailgate mounted) turn signal assembly. CarMax said the issue was due to a seal failing on the light assembly which allowed water to enter the unit and short out the LED unit. The same issue occured for 2024-25 Corsairs and was addressed by the NHTSA Campaign 25V688 / Ford Recall 25C53 and Lincoln. Can the NHTSA force a recall on earlier models since my 2020 Corsair has the exact same issue? It's unbeleivable that I was faced with an $1,100 bill for my tail lights not working when the problem was due to poor engineering. Can the NHTSA help me with recovering any of my expenses for this repair? Thank you.

See attached document for complaint.

The contact owns a 2020 Lincoln Corsair. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V123000 (Back Over Prevention) and NHTSA Campaign Number 26V117000(Visibility); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and an appointment was made for service; however, on the day of service, the contact was informed that parts for the recall never arrived. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

vehicles rear tail and signal lights failed, no rear signaling to traffic behind said vehicle. Lincoln has a recall on 2024-2025 corsairs for this issue but earlier models do not have this recall but the same issue are on the earlier models. The vehicle has been inspected by a ford dealer and confirmed. there are no warning indicators to the driver of this failure, lights just quick working.

I recently paid $6,825.69 for a transmission repair, and immediately after that, the turbocharger failed.” “My mechanic has advised that driving the vehicle could result in engine damage or sudden loss of power.” “Because of this safety risk, I have stopped driving the vehicle.
