2011 FORD EDGE; 2011 LINCOLN MKX
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2011 Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured between July 1, 2010, and October 8, 2010, due to a problem with the liftgate lock. These vehicles have incorrectly configured electronic module settings that disable the liftgate locking function, meaning owners cannot lock the liftgate using the interior lock switches or remote key fob buttons.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the affected control modules free of charge. The safety recall began on November 1, 2010. According to the record, affected consumers should contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
