2.5L Atkinson Engine Failure — Oil/Vapor Fire Risk — Recall 22V484000 (2021-2022)
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Catastrophic2021-2022
OPEN HOURS MON–FRI | 9AM–6PM
Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring PHEV has 33 recalls — HV battery fire risk, engine fire, 7 camera campaigns. California lemon law rights explained. Free case review.
You chose the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring because it promised something rare: a luxury compact SUV that could commute on electrons alone, then shift seamlessly to the 2.5-liter Atkinson hybrid when needed. The Grand Touring badge meant a 14.4 kWh plug-in pack, a J1772 charge port, and up to 28 miles of electric range. The price was $50,000 or more. The promise was premium, efficient, and worry-free.
Instead, many Corsair Grand Touring owners have spent months unable to charge their PHEV at all. NHTSA recall campaigns 24V954000 and 25V789000 — covering approximately 20,500 units — flagged a manufacturing defect in the traction battery cells that creates internal short-circuit risk, loss of drive power, and fire. Ford's interim fix was blunt: restrict the battery to 80%, use only Auto EV mode, and wait for a permanent remedy. For owners who bought a PHEV to avoid the pump, that instruction rendered a $50,000 vehicle functionally equivalent to a conventional hybrid — often for more than a year. One 2021 owner filed NHTSA complaint ODI 11732248 stating EV capabilities were unavailable 'for most of 2025 and into April 2026' with no fix in sight.
The battery issue is the headline, but not the only story. The 2.5-liter engine carries a four-campaign fire-risk recall chain (22V484, 23V380, 25V345, 25V828) culminating in full engine long-block replacement. Seven separate rearview camera recall campaigns were issued between 2021 and 2026, demonstrating that Ford could not durably repair the camera subsystem across five years. Co-Pilot360 phantom braking has injured occupants (ODI 11621224). Panoramic sunroofs have shattered spontaneously at highway speed. If your Corsair has been to the dealer repeatedly for any of these defects, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act may give you options.

clunking from drivetrain; loss of drive power; vehicle may roll when parked
Recall 21V011000 covers seizure of the rear drive axle due to insufficient lubricant, which can cause sudden loss of drive and loss of vehicle control — a direct safety risk at highway speed. If a dealer performed the recall inspection and the rear drive unit failed afterward, the repair may have been inadequate, and each subsequent service visit counts toward Song-Beverly's repair-attempt threshold. Only 147 units were affected, so parts and dealer familiarity may be limited — document every dealer visit carefully.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will check the rear drive unit lubricant level. Axles found to have lubricant at the minimum level will be filled to the full level. Axles found to be below the minimum lubricant fill level will be replaced, free of charge. This recall began March 12, 2021. Owner
engine stalls while driving; vehicle will not start; loss of power; fuel pump recall
Recall 21V625000 addresses a leaking fuel delivery module that causes low fuel pressure and engine stall, increasing crash risk. Stalling at highway speed with no warning is a safety-critical defect under Song-Beverly. 13,773 units were affected across 2021 Escape and Corsair. If the vehicle stalled before or after the recall repair, each visit is a repair attempt. Document any incidents where the car lost power in traffic.
Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module, free of charge. Interim notification letters (remedy not available) were mailed on September 30, 2021. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 14, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 21V735000 covers IPMB software failure that prevents the rearview camera from displaying any image. While the camera is a safety aid, repeated failure of a federally mandated backup camera system that persists after the software update remedy has been applied can support a Song-Beverly claim. This recall was later superseded by 23V022000 — if your dealer applied the 21V735 fix and the camera failed again, that prior incomplete repair strengthens your position.
Dealers will update the Image Processing Module (IPMB) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 16, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S44.
EV propulsion warning; power loss; high-voltage cable recall
Recall 22V149000 covers HV traction battery failure causing sudden loss of drive power in the 2022 Corsair PHEV. This is a platform-wide issue shared with the 2021-2022 Ford Escape. Only 3 potential units were flagged under this campaign, but the HV battery defect family expanded to 20,000+ units in subsequent recalls. Sudden power loss at speed is a primary Safety defect under Song-Beverly.
Dealers will replace the high voltage battery, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 28, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S48.
EV propulsion warning; power loss; high-voltage cable recall
Recall 22V331000 covers HV battery insufficient internal welds causing loss of drive power in the 2021 Corsair PHEV. Ford replaced the HV battery under this campaign. If the replacement battery later developed the same defect (see recall families 24V954 and 25V789 covering the same 2021-2024 MY), the owner may have grounds for a Song-Beverly claim based on multiple failed repair attempts on the same essential vehicle system.
Dealers will replace the high voltage battery, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on July 12, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed August 8, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for thi
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 22V484000 addresses the 2.5L HEV/PHEV engine's tendency, upon internal failure, to release oil and fuel vapor near ignition sources — creating a fire risk. Ford's remedy was to modify the under-engine shield and grille shutter. This campaign was later superseded by 23V380000 (full engine replacement for 2021-2023 MY). 100,689 units were affected across the Escape/Corsair/Maverick platform. If the Corsair's 2.5L engine failed after the shield modification but before the long-block replacement, each failed repair attempt counts under Song-Beverly.
Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke. Dealers will modify the under engine shield and active grille shutter, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 19,
driver seat cushion loose; seat fastener recall; seat may not stay secured
Recall 22V953000 addresses a seat belt warning chime that activates for less than 4 seconds — a FMVSS 208 violation — in Corsair models equipped with the Revel audio system. While the defect is a software issue, it affects a federally required safety notification system. The remedy is an ACM software update. 101,001 units were affected across Aviator and Corsair. If the update was applied but the chime still fails to warn for the required duration, document it — subsequent repair visits support a Song-Beverly claim.
Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 7, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22C35.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 23V022000 is the second software update campaign for the same 360-degree camera display failure previously addressed under 21V735000. 382,759 units were included across Explorer, Aviator, and Corsair. The fact that a second campaign was required for the same defect is significant — it demonstrates that Ford's first repair attempt (21V735) was insufficient. Under Song-Beverly, repeated fixes for the same defect each count as a repair attempt, and the cumulative pattern supports a buyback claim.
Dealers will update the image processing module (IPMB) software, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed April 25, 2023. Owner notification letters were mailed February 13, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Fo
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 23V342000 escalates the rearview camera repair from a software update to full hardware camera replacement, affecting 442,973 vehicles. This is the third campaign in the camera failure chain (21V735 → 23V022 → 23V342). Each campaign represents Ford acknowledging that the prior fix was inadequate. Three repair campaigns for a single core defect is a strong foundation for a Song-Beverly claim — document all dealer visits, including which recall number was applied at each visit.
Dealers will replace the 360-degree camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 10, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S23. This recall expands and replaces NHTSA recall number 23V-022. Vehicles previously
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 23V380000 supersedes 22V484000 for the 2021-2023 Corsair: the remedy escalates from shield modification to full engine long-block replacement upon connecting rod bearing failure. 125,322 units affected. A vehicle requiring an engine replacement under warranty is a major repair event under Song-Beverly. If the engine was replaced and the fire/power-loss issue recurred, Song-Beverly's repair-attempt clock continues. Owners should also check whether their connecting rod bearings were inspected before or after receiving the shield-only repair under 22V484.
Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke. Dealers will replace the engine long-block in 2023 Escape and Corsair vehicles. For the other vehicles, dealers will update the powertra
transmission shifts unexpectedly; hesitation; harsh shift; transmission warning
Recall 24V330000 addresses HPCM software that may cause the eCVT to shift unexpectedly into neutral, causing a sudden loss of drive power. 9,312 units affected across Corsair and Escape. Unexpected loss of drive at speed is a primary safety defect under Song-Beverly. This recall was followed by a second campaign (25V133000) for vehicles incorrectly repaired under 24V330 — meaning the original fix may have been applied in error. If your vehicle received the 24V330 repair and then the unexpected neutral shift recurred, that is a failed repair attempt under California lemon law.
Dealers will update the HPCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 22, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S33.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 24V634000 covers 2023 Corsair fuel injectors assembled without O-ring support discs, creating a fuel leak near ignition sources that increases fire risk. Only 24 units were affected, but fire risk from a fuel system defect is a Catastrophic severity under any lemon-law analysis. If the injector O-rings were replaced and any fuel odor or leak symptom recurred, document it and return to the dealer — each visit is a repair attempt under Song-Beverly.
Dealers will install new fuel injector O-rings and O-ring support discs, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 7, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S54.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 24V852000 addresses missing airbag warning labels on the dashboard — a FMVSS 208 compliance violation. Ford's remedy is to mail replacement labels to owners. While this is a low-severity compliance issue, it demonstrates the breadth of recall activity on the Corsair. For owners pursuing a Song-Beverly claim, recall 24V852 is typically cited as supplemental evidence of the vehicle's overall recall history rather than as a standalone defect basis.
Ford will mail owners the warning labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 19, 2024. Owners may call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24C39.
EV propulsion warning; power loss; high-voltage cable recall
Recall 24V954000 covers the most serious defect in the Corsair PHEV's history: a manufacturing defect in the high-voltage battery cells that can cause internal short circuit, loss of drive power, and fire. Approximately 20,484 units are covered. Interim remedy required owners to stop charging until a software update and permanent battery replacement could be arranged. Battery-related fire risk is Catastrophic severity. The extended period without a permanent remedy substantially impairs vehicle use, value, and safety — the three prongs Song-Beverly requires.
Owners are advised not to charge battery till the remedy has been completed. Dealers will perform a battery energy control module (BECM) software update, and replace the high voltage battery pack, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 30, 2025. Owners may contac
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V048000 is the fourth major camera campaign for the 2020-2022 Corsair, now requiring hardware camera replacement for blank or distorted images. 91,580 units affected across Corsair, Expedition, and Super Duty trucks. The repeated escalation from software fixes to full hardware replacement across four campaigns (21V735 → 23V022 → 23V342 → 25V048) establishes that Ford could not durably repair this defect. That pattern is precisely what Song-Beverly's repair-attempt threshold is designed to address.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S05.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 25V049000 covers 2025 Corsair instrument panel clusters that fail to illuminate at startup or while driving, preventing the driver from seeing the speedometer and warning lights. 298 units affected. Loss of speedometer and safety warning display while driving is a safety defect under Song-Beverly. If the cluster was replaced and the failure recurred, each visit is a repair attempt.
Dealers will replace the instrument panel cluster, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 17, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C02.
transmission shifts unexpectedly; hesitation; harsh shift; transmission warning
Recall 25V133000 specifically addresses 2021-2022 Corsair vehicles that were incorrectly repaired under prior recall 24V330000, leaving the unexpected-neutral-shift defect uncorrected. 207 units. This is a textbook Song-Beverly scenario: the same defect, two repair attempts, both by Ford's own authorized dealers. If your vehicle received both the 24V330 and 25V133 repairs and the neutral-shift symptom persisted, three attempts at the same safety defect may trigger the statutory presumption.
Dealers will update the HPCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S16.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V159000 addresses vehicles incorrectly repaired under recall 23V342000, where the camera display failure was not properly resolved. 49,399 units across Corsair, Explorer, and Aviator. This is now the fifth camera-failure campaign for the 2020-2022 Corsair. Five campaigns for one defect system is extraordinary — it strongly supports an argument that Ford has been unable to durably repair this defect, a key element of a Song-Beverly lemon-law claim.
Dealers will update the Image Processing Module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 25, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S27.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V315000 expands the camera failure pattern to 2023-2024 Corsair models, where an APIM software error causes the camera image to delay, freeze, or not appear. Over 1 million units affected across all Ford/Lincoln models. For 2023-2024 Corsair owners, this recall joins the engine fire family (23V380, 25V345) and the HV battery family (24V954, 25V789) as the third concurrent major recall open at the same time — a compelling indicator of an exceptionally compromised vehicle.
The accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, free of charge. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety
driver seat cushion loose; seat fastener recall; seat may not stay secured
Recall 25V338000 is the second chime-duration campaign, addressing 2020-2023 Corsair (Revel audio) vehicles where the 22V953000 repair was incorrectly performed. 4,442 units. Like the camera recall chain, two campaigns for the same seat belt warning defect demonstrates Ford's inability to permanently correct the issue. Document whether your Corsair received both the 22V953 and 25V338 repairs and whether the warning chime remains compliant after both.
Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C18.
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 25V343000 covers 2023 and 2025 Corsair engine block heaters that may crack and overheat when plugged in while parked, creating a fire risk. The interim instruction is to stop using the block heater immediately. Fire risk from a parked vehicle is Catastrophic severity. In cold-climate states, the block heater may be essential for starting the vehicle — losing this function while a remedy is awaited (owner letters not mailed until June 2026) is a substantial impairment of vehicle use under Song-Beverly.
Dealers will replace the block heater element and inspect the electrical cord, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded blanking plug coupled, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Owner notifi
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 25V345000 specifically addresses 2021-2023 Corsair vehicles where recall 23V380000 was performed incorrectly, leaving the engine fire risk unresolved. 1,809 units affected. This is a second failed repair attempt for a fire-risk defect — the most compelling Song-Beverly pattern. California courts have consistently held that a manufacturer's failure to correct a safety defect after a second attempt is strong evidence supporting the lemon-law presumption under Cal. Civ. Code §1793.22.
Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine as quickly as possible if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2025. Owners
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V442000 adds another dimension to the camera failure: image persists on screen after leaving reverse, distracting the driver. 200,237 units across all Ford/Lincoln models. This is now the sixth camera-related recall for the 2020-2022 Corsair. The sheer number of camera campaigns — covering blank, distorted, delayed, frozen, and now persistently displayed images — demonstrates a systemic defect in the camera and display subsystem that Ford has not been able to permanently resolve across multiple model years and remedies.
Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 25V510000 identifies water infiltration into rearview camera connectors as a new hardware root cause for blank or distorted camera display. 41,875 units of 2020-2022 Corsair affected. Remedy is camera harness and camera replacement. For Corsair owners who have already had multiple camera repairs under earlier software-fix campaigns, this recall demonstrates that some camera failures had a hardware cause that was not addressed by prior software remedies — a failed repair argument.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera harness and rearview camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 1, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S83.
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 25V685000 covers 2020-2022 Corsair engine block heaters that crack and develop a coolant leak, causing an electrical short that increases fire risk. 59,006 units across multiple Ford/Lincoln models. Block heater fire risk when a vehicle is parked is Catastrophic severity. Interim remedy is to stop using the block heater; final remedy (replacement) has a September 2026 target. In cold climates, loss of the block heater substantially impairs vehicle utility — another Song-Beverly substantial-impairment argument.
Owners are advised not to plug in their block heater until the vehicle is remedied. Dealers will replace the block heater, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded blanking plug, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Int
brake pedal problem; reduced braking; unexpected braking; brake warning light
Recall 25V688000 covers 2024-2025 Corsair rear combination lights where water infiltration causes loss of reverse, tail, brake, or turn signal function — a FMVSS 108 violation. 84 units affected. Brake light failure is a safety-adjacent defect: other drivers cannot see the Corsair braking. If lights failed after the dealer replaced the assemblies under this recall, document the failure date and mileage — each recurrence is a repair attempt under Song-Beverly.
Dealers will inspect and replace the rear combination light assemblies, as necessary, free charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 14, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C53. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) invol
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 25V730000 covers 2025-2026 Corsair windshields with visible air bubbles that obscure driver visibility, increasing crash risk. 56,841 units across Corsair, Aviator, and Explorer. Windshield replacement is the remedy. A defective windshield that impairs the driver's ability to see the road is a safety defect under Song-Beverly. If the replacement windshield subsequently developed distortion or the same bubble defect, document it and return to the dealer.
Dealers will inspect and replace the windshield as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 6, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C60. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall bec
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 25V828000 covers 2026 Corsair vehicles with improperly manufactured cylinder heads where ball plugs may fail, causing oil leaks near hot engine components and creating fire risk. Only 6 units affected — all still in dealer inventory at recall initiation. This recall adds to the engine failure/fire family that includes 22V484, 23V380, and 25V345 across prior model years, demonstrating a recurring engine manufacturing quality concern across the Corsair lineup.
Dealers will replace the cylinder head assembly, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still within dealership inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SD3. Vehicle Identif
driver seat cushion loose; seat fastener recall; seat may not stay secured
Recall 25V862000 covers 2025-2026 Corsair rear seat belt retractors that may not be securely fastened, failing to properly restrain rear passengers in a crash. 780 units affected across Corsair and Escape. An unsecured seat belt retractor is a direct safety defect — failure during a crash can cause serious injury. Under Song-Beverly, a safety defect that was not correctly fixed on the first attempt creates immediate grounds to demand a replacement or repurchase if the issue recurs.
Dealers will inspect and secure, or replace the seat belt retractor bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 26, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C68. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs)
warning light; recall notice; repeated dealer repair
Recall 26V117000 covers 2020-2022 Corsair windshield wiper motors that may fail and prevent proper wiper operation. 604,533 units across Corsair, Escape, Explorer, and Aviator — one of the largest recall campaigns on this vehicle. Failed wipers in rain reduce visibility and constitute a safety defect. If the wiper motor was replaced and failed again, or if the dealer could not obtain parts (a common issue for large-volume recalls), document every service appointment carefully.
Dealers will inspect and replace the front wiper motors as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed April 2, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in May 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service
engine knocking; engine stalls; sudden loss of power; check engine light; engine failure recall
Recall 26V122000 covers 2025 Corsair EGR valves that may fail, causing unexpected loss of drive power while underway. 47,804 units across Ford and Lincoln 2025 models. Interim notification letters were mailed March 2026; final remedy (EGR valve replacement) expected September 2026. Sudden power loss while driving at speed is a primary safety defect. Owners receiving the interim letter who then experience power loss before the permanent fix becomes available have a strong Song-Beverly argument based on the extended remedy timeline and the safety nature of the defect.
Dealers will replace the EGR valves, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed March 20, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in September 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's
backup camera blank; screen goes black in reverse; rearview camera distorted
Recall 26V123000 addresses the seventh and latest camera display failure campaign for the 2020-2022 Corsair: the center display image flips or inverts when the vehicle is placed in reverse. 889,950 units across Corsair, Escape, Explorer, and Aviator. Seven distinct camera-related recalls across five years is an unprecedented pattern for a single vehicle system. Ford has never been able to permanently correct the camera/display subsystem, creating a compelling Song-Beverly argument for any owner who has visited the dealer for camera issues more than twice.
Dealers will update the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software, free of charge.Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C11. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this
transmission shifts unexpectedly; hesitation; harsh shift; transmission warning
Recall 26V301000 covers 2026 Corsair integrated park modules that may fail to lock into park position, allowing unintended vehicle rollaway. Only 208 units affected. SOBDMC software update via OTA or dealer. Vehicle rollaway from a failed park lock is a direct safety defect. This recall expands campaign 25V863, indicating a pattern of park-lock software defects in the latest Corsair generation. If the OTA update is not available or does not resolve the park-lock failure, the dealer must apply the remedy — each visit without a permanent fix is a repair attempt under Song-Beverly.
The Secondary On Board Diagnostic Module C (SOBDMC) software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed June 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in August 2026. Ow
car suddenly loses all drive power; Service Hybrid System warning light; EV mode unavailable; recalled to limit charging to 80%; told not to charge at all; battery replacement parts unavailable for months; dealer says no fix yet; car shuts down completely at highway speed; steering wheel locks during shutdown
Under Song-Beverly, a manufacturer must repair a defect within a reasonable number of attempts or within a reasonable time. Owners of Corsair PHEV vehicles have reported being unable to use the core EV function — a primary advertised feature — for more than 12 months with no permanent remedy available. Extended inability to use the vehicle as warranted, combined with repeated repair attempts without a permanent fix, is a textbook Song-Beverly pattern. Each dealer visit that fails to restore the battery to safe, full-function operation may count as a repair attempt under Cal. Civ. Code §1793.2.
BECM software update (interim); high-voltage battery pack replacement (permanent remedy — parts availability ongoing issue as of late 2025). Owner interim instruction per 25V789: use Auto EV mode only; limit charge to 80%.
car completely dead overnight; battery dies repeatedly; car keeps shutting off while driving; stranded multiple times; 12V battery replaced but problem returns; audio control module draining battery after shutdown; dealer cannot find cause
Repeated no-start / stranding events that bring the vehicle into the dealer multiple times without a durable fix qualify for Song-Beverly analysis. California law counts each unsuccessful repair visit toward the statutory 'reasonable number of attempts' threshold. Owners who were stranded 4+ times in 60 days of ownership (ODI 11588067) with a vehicle spending 45 days in service have a strong days-out-of-service argument under Cal. Civ. Code §1793.2(b).
12V battery replacement (often only temporary fix); ACM software update; investigation of HV battery charge path. Dealer must identify parasitic draw source via amp-clamp test.
car slams on brakes with no obstacle; emergency braking with nothing in front; forward collision warning goes off randomly; Co-Pilot360 unavailable; blind spot monitor stops working; ADAS system fails while driving on highway; multiple sensors offline at same time; dealer cannot replicate
Phantom braking events that produce injuries or repeated near-misses, and wholesale ADAS failures that persist after 5+ dealer visits, both represent safety-critical defects under Song-Beverly. A dealer notation of 'cannot duplicate' does not stop the Song-Beverly clock — California law requires a reasonable number of attempts, not necessarily a successful repair, to trigger the remedy provisions.
APIM/ADAS software update (issued via recall 25V315 for camera-related variants); sensor cleaning and recalibration; radar module replacement if hardware fault confirmed. Persistent multi-system ADAS failure may require SOBDM software update per 26V301.
panoramic sunroof exploded with no warning; moonroof shattered while driving on highway; glass rained down inside cabin; heard loud bang then glass falling; sunroof cracked with no impact or rough road; glass shards on driver and passengers
Spontaneous glass shattering that injures occupants or produces a safety hazard is a warranty defect under Song-Beverly regardless of whether a recall has been issued. If the dealer replaces the glass and the event recurs, each replacement visit counts toward the repair-attempt threshold. Glass events at highway speed with occupant injury exposure meet Song-Beverly's substantial impairment standard.
Panoramic glass panel replacement. No recall remedy currently available. Document the event with photos, police report if injuries, and preserve glass fragments.
car won't charge in EV mode; electric range suddenly gone; told to limit charge to 80% due to recall; Auto EV mode the only allowed mode; dealer says no permanent fix available; battery replacement parts on backorder for months; plug-in hybrid drives like a regular hybrid only; charge doesn't hold overnight
An owner required to operate a PHEV in restricted mode for 12+ months due to an open recall with no available permanent remedy has a strong days-out-of-service and substantial-impairment argument. Song-Beverly does not require the vehicle to be inoperable — substantial impairment of use, value, or safety qualifies. Losing electric-only range on a PHEV purchased specifically for its EV capability is a documented substantial impairment. Each month without a permanent remedy adds to the owner's case.
High-voltage battery pack replacement (permanent remedy per 24V954/25V789). Interim: restrict to 80% charge via BECM software update. Owner should document all charges, range data, and any dealer refusals to provide a loaner.

Every item below comes from this vehicle's documented defects. The more you recognize, the more a free case review is worth your time.
California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code §1790 et seq.) protects buyers of new vehicles sold in California when a defect is not repaired within a reasonable number of attempts or the vehicle is out of service for an unreasonable time. General information only — not legal advice; no attorney-client relationship formed. Law as of Jun 30, 2026.
REPAIR ATTEMPTS: For safety defects — HV battery fire risk (24V954/25V789) and engine fire (22V484/23V380) — California presumes two or more failed repair attempts is sufficient. For non-safety defects (camera, chime), the presumption triggers after four attempts. Each camera recall campaign applied to your VIN may count as an attempt if the defect recurred.
DAYS OUT OF SERVICE: Thirty or more cumulative days out of service for warranty repairs — including time waiting for recall parts — may entitle you to replacement or repurchase regardless of repair-attempt count. PHEV owners without a permanent battery remedy for 12+ months have a strong days-out-of-service argument.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPAIRMENT: The car need not be undrivable. Losing advertised EV functionality for over a year due to an open recall with no permanent fix is a substantial impairment of use and value — both Song-Beverly grounds.
WHAT YOU MAY RECOVER: Repurchase at full purchase price (less mileage offset) plus finance charges and registration, or a replacement vehicle. Attorney fees are recoverable; counsel often handles these cases on contingency.
“Could not duplicate” doesn't mean the defect isn't real. Here's exactly what to do to protect a potential California lemon-law claim.
Document the moment it happens. Photos, video, and screenshots of any warning lights — with the date and the mileage.
Get a repair order every visit — even “found nothing.” That paperwork is the foundation of a claim.
Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Note any recall that has no available remedy yet.
Track your out-of-service days. California law counts the cumulative days your vehicle spends in the shop.
Keep loaner & rental records. Alternate-transport paperwork during long repairs matters.
Save everything in one place. Symptoms, dates, repair orders, and every repeat visit — the intermittent ones especially.
Lincoln dealers commonly attribute camera failures to 'software already updated,' log battery issues as 'recall parts unavailable,' and close ADAS complaints without reproducing the phantom brake event. Steps to protect your legal position:
1. DEMAND a written repair order. State your symptom in plain owner language — 'backup camera shows blank screen in reverse' — and confirm it appears verbatim on the RO before you leave.
2. CHECK YOUR VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before each visit. Ask the dealer to apply all open recalls and list each on the RO. If parts are unavailable, get that noted in writing — parts wait time counts toward your days-out-of-service total.
3. RECORD intermittent events. Run dashcam footage on every commute for phantom braking. Video the blank camera screen the moment it appears. A timestamped recording defeats a 'cannot duplicate' closure.
4. LOG the 80%-charge restriction. If under 24V954 or 25V789 you were told to cap charging, photograph the charge-limit screen with a date-stamped device. This is evidence of substantial impairment of vehicle use under Song-Beverly.
5. GET FAULT CODES IN WRITING. If the Service Hybrid System light fires and the dealer clears codes, ask for a printed diagnostic report before clearing. That fault history vanishes after a reset and cannot be recovered.
6. TRACK DAYS IN SERVICE. Log drop-off and pick-up dates for every visit. Thirty cumulative days trigger Song-Beverly's days-out-of-service presumption regardless of repair-attempt count.
Thirty-three NHTSA campaigns across five model years is extraordinary for a compact luxury SUV. The pattern is as significant as the volume: the HV battery fire family and the 2.5L engine fire family ran concurrently, leaving some Corsair PHEV owners facing two Catastrophic-severity open recalls with no permanent remedy for either. Seven camera campaigns demonstrate Ford's failure to durably fix a single federally mandated system across five years. The HPCM neutral-shift defect required two campaigns because the first fix was applied incorrectly by dealers. If you have made multiple dealer visits for any of these issues, your repair history may support a Song-Beverly claim worth a free attorney evaluation.
— The Margarian Law team
If your Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring has been to the dealer more than once for the HV battery recall, the engine fire, the camera, or phantom braking — and the problem isn't permanently resolved — you may have options under California's lemon law. Margarian Law has handled thousands of lemon-law cases and offers a free, no-obligation case review. Contact us with your repair orders.
Ford issued recall 24V954000 (December 2020) and expanded recall 25V789000 (December 2025) for the 2021-2024 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring and Ford Escape PHEV. A manufacturing defect in the 14.4 kWh traction battery cells can cause an internal short circuit, resulting in sudden loss of drive power or fire. While Ford develops a permanent battery replacement remedy, the interim fix restricts the maximum charge level and limits operation to Auto EV mode. Approximately 20,500 Corsair PHEV units were covered. If your car still has an open recall notice and parts are unavailable at your dealer, document every day you cannot charge normally — extended inability to use the vehicle as advertised is a substantial impairment under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Contact Margarian Law for a free review of your recall and repair history. []
The 2.5-liter HEV/PHEV engine fire issue on the 2021-2023 Lincoln Corsair has been addressed by four separate NHTSA recall campaigns: 22V484000 (shield modification, 100,689 units), 23V380000 (escalated to engine long-block replacement for models with connecting rod bearing failure, 125,322 units), 25V345000 (re-fix for vehicles where 23V380 was incorrectly repaired, 1,809 units), and 25V828000 (2026 MY cylinder head manufacturing defect, 6 units). Ford's instruction for all recalls in this family: if you hear unexpected engine noises, see smoke, or notice a sudden power reduction, park and shut off the engine immediately. If your Corsair received a shield modification under 22V484 but never received the long-block replacement under 23V380, or if you have been through multiple engine repairs, you may have grounds for a Song-Beverly buyback or replacement. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and bring all repair orders to a qualified lemon-law attorney for review. []
The rearview camera system on the 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring has been subject to seven separate NHTSA recall campaigns between 2021 and 2026: 21V735000 (IPMB software), 23V022000 (second IPMB software update), 23V342000 (physical camera hardware replacement), 25V048000 (blank/distorted image — hardware replacement), 25V159000 (re-fix for vehicles repaired incorrectly under 23V342), 25V442000 (blank or persistent image after backing), 25V510000 (water intrusion in connectors — harness and camera replacement), and 26V123000 (APIM software for inverted image). If your camera fails after multiple dealer visits and multiple recall repairs, that is exactly the pattern Song-Beverly's repair-attempt threshold is designed to address. Check whether your VIN is covered by any of these campaigns at nhtsa.gov/recalls. If you have had two or more camera repairs and the problem persists, contact Margarian Law for a free case evaluation. []
You cannot 'sue' Ford directly in most lemon-law cases — the typical remedy is a formal Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act claim (Cal. Civ. Code §1790 et seq.) filed by a licensed California attorney on your behalf. The law requires that: (a) your vehicle was purchased or leased new in California; (b) the defect occurred within the warranty period; and (c) the manufacturer or its authorized dealer failed to repair the defect within a reasonable number of attempts. For safety defects like the Corsair's HV battery fire risk or the engine fire recall, California presumes that two or more failed repair attempts is sufficient. For non-safety defects (camera, chime), four or more attempts triggers the presumption. 30 or more cumulative days out of service also creates a presumption of violation. A successful Song-Beverly claim can result in full vehicle repurchase at purchase price minus a mileage offset, or a replacement vehicle, plus attorney fees — meaning qualified attorneys often handle these cases at no out-of-pocket cost to the owner. Gather all repair orders and bring them to a qualified lemon-law attorney for a free review. []
Sudden and complete loss of drive power on the 2021 Corsair Grand Touring PHEV is associated with two distinct recall families. First, the HV traction battery defect (recalls 22V331000 and later 24V954000/25V789000): insufficient internal welds or a manufacturing defect in the battery cells can cause the pack to fail, cutting all drive power. Ford's interim remedy is to limit charging and use only Auto EV mode. Second, the HPCM software defect (recalls 24V330000 and 25V133000) can cause the eCVT to shift unexpectedly into neutral, mimicking a complete power loss. Both defects can occur without warning. Platform-sibling Ford Escape PHEV owners have filed NHTSA complaints describing complete shutdown during EV-to-hybrid transitions, with the steering wheel and brake pedal locking (ODI 11735408 on Ford Escape, same CX482 platform). If your 2021 Corsair lost power at speed, file a complaint at nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem and consult a lemon-law attorney — repeated power loss at highway speed is a primary safety defect under Song-Beverly. []
As of June 2026, the 2021-2026 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring has been subject to 33 NHTSA recall campaigns — an unusually high number for a compact luxury SUV in its first five model years. The defect families include: HV traction battery fire and power-loss risk (2 major campaigns, ~20,500 units); 2.5-liter engine fire risk across 4 campaigns (up to 125,322 units); rearview camera system failures across 7 campaigns; unexpected neutral shift (2 campaigns); seat belt warning chime defect (2 campaigns); windshield wiper motor failure (1 large campaign, 604,533 units); and several smaller campaigns for labels, instrument cluster, rear lights, windshield, and seat belt retractors. Whether your specific Corsair qualifies as a 'lemon' under California law depends on your individual repair history — not just the existence of recalls. A vehicle with 33 open recall campaigns may have had multiple issues repaired successfully, or it may have had the same defect returned to the dealer several times without resolution. Gather your repair orders, check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, and contact Margarian Law for a free, no-obligation case evaluation to determine whether your history meets the Song-Beverly threshold.
