Lincoln Nautilus Recall 25V518: Power Windows May Not Reverse, Risking Pinch Injuries

NHTSA campaign 25V518, reported August 8, 2025, 482 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2024-2025 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall, 24V953. The power window automatic reversal system may not respond correctly after it detects an obstruction. As a result, a closing window may keep applying excessive force to a driver or passenger before it retracts, which raises the risk of pinching injuries.

Dealers will update the driver door module and passenger door module software at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 23, 2025. If you have questions, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing Ford recall number 25C36.

You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls and schedule a free repair at an authorized Lincoln dealer.
