Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2020 Nautilus vehicles equipped with 16-way electric tilt seats. The seat cushion frame edge may contact and damage the wire harness when the seat's tilt function is used, which can cause the air bag to deploy unexpectedly or fail to deploy during a crash.
If you own an affected vehicle, Ford will notify you. Dealers will install protective flocking tape on the exposed edge of the seat cushion frame and inspect and repair or replace the wire harness if damaged, at no cost to you. To arrange service, contact Ford/Lincoln customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 20S37.
