Best and Worst Lincoln MKC Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 5 Lincoln MKC model years from 2015 to 2019 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 122 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2018 — 74 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2016 — 80 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 122 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2019 — 122 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
