Lincoln Recalls 11,623 Hybrid SUVs That Can Slip Into Neutral While Driving

Lincoln is recalling 11,623 hybrid crossovers because a transmission defect can drop the vehicle into neutral without warning while it is moving. The recall covers select 2026-2027 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid models and 2027 Lincoln Corsair Hybrid models.

Ford traced the problem to the Integrated Park Module, a component inside the transmission’s park lock actuator system. When it fails, it cuts power to the wheels mid-drive, leaving the driver coasting with no drive power and raising the odds of a rear-end collision. According to NHTSA documentation, Ford estimates 100% of the vehicles covered by the recall are actually affected, not just a subset flagged as a precaution.

The recall covers 11,560 Nautilus Hybrids from the 2026 and 2027 model years built between September 9, 2025, and August 6, 2026, along with 63 Corsair Hybrids from the 2027 model year. Affected VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 26.

Ford will mail interim notification letters starting November 2 to alert owners to the hazard, with a second letter to follow once dealers have enough Integrated Park Modules in stock to perform the swap.
