On the 2021-2023 Lincoln Corsair, lincoln Corsair models built with the 2.5L hybrid (HEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine are covered by Ford Motor Company safety recall 23V380000. The defect is what happens after the engine fails: if the 2.5L engine suffers an internal failure, engine oil and fuel vapor can escape into the engine compartment, where they can pool near hot engine or exhaust surfaces and ignite. NHTSA classifies this under the ENGINE component, and the campaign as a whole covers 125,322 vehicles across all the Ford and Lincoln models included in it. Because the Corsair's hybrid powertrain can move the vehicle without the gasoline engine obviously working hard, Lincoln's guidance to owners is behavioral as much as mechanical: if you hear engine noises you have not heard before, feel the vehicle lose power, or see any smoke, pull over, park, and shut the engine off as soon as it is safe to do so rather than trying to reach home or a shop.

Common Symptoms

  • Unexpected or unfamiliar engine noises
  • Noticeable reduction in engine power
  • Smoke from the engine compartment
  • Engine compartment fire

How to Fix

The repair is free at any Lincoln dealer. What the dealer does depends on the model year of your Corsair: on 2023 Corsairs, the dealer replaces the engine long-block. On 2021 and 2022 Corsairs, the dealer reprograms the powertrain control module (PCM) with updated software, and if that inspection turns up a connecting rod bearing failure, the dealer replaces the engine long-block as well. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether your specific Corsair is included and whether the remedy has already been performed. Until the recall work is done, follow Ford's interim advice: park and shut the engine off promptly if you hear unexpected engine noises, notice reduced power, or see smoke.
