2025 Lincoln Nautilus Problems and Recalls

Source: NHTSA vehicle records, recall and complaint snapshot 2026-10-18. Manufacturer communications retain their separately dated source snapshot. Counts are submitted records, not failure probabilities. One vehicle can appear in several campaigns.

Complaint model names counted: NAUTILUS, NAUTILUS HYBRID. Recall model names counted: NAUTILUS, NAUTILUS HYBRID. Complaint records are deduplicated by ODI number; vehicle recalls are counted by distinct campaign number for this year.

Model-year records

What the 2025 record can and cannot say

The 2025 record contains 31 submitted complaints. The median across this model's matched years is 28.5 reports. Neither number accounts for vehicle sales or time on the road. Source names: NAUTILUS, NAUTILUS HYBRID. NHTSA source snapshot: 2026-10-18.

Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control is the most common displayed component tag, with 7 reports (22.6% of this year's submitted complaints). One complaint can name several components. The share describes reports, not the probability of a failure.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest arithmetic midpoint for parts in the applicable planning estimates, at $8,000 before labor. A paid plan can help only if the component and cause qualify; check existing manufacturer coverage first.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE: recall 25V519000

Exterior lighting failure can reduce visibility for the driver and other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, Mustang Mach E, and Mustang vehicles. The LED Driver Modules may contain a burnt diode, which can cause the low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights, front position lights, and front turn signals to fail in the affected headlight. On Nautilus vehicles only, this condition may also cause the rear tail light, rear turn signal, and rear position light to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

Keep a current problem separate from future coverage

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.

What can the data tell you about 2025 Lincoln Nautilus?

No model-specific individual-repair price keys are retained for Lincoln Nautilus in this library. Generic parts and labor estimates, public records and separate annual cost references may still be available.

This model year can include different equipment. Use the VIN and original specifications to identify the actual configuration.

Documented repair pathsCheck the source

Recall and communication counts describe records. They cannot establish a breakdown probability or current VIN status.
