What Happened
The power seat in your Lincoln Navigator is controlled by a computer program that helps the seat move up and down. In some 2026 models, this program might get confused and make the seat move unexpectedly while you're driving at low speeds.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat control system fails, the driver's seat could move suddenly while you're driving, which could distract you and make it harder to control your vehicle. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Lincoln dealer will update the software that controls your power seat, or your vehicle will receive an over-the-air update for free. This should happen as soon as you schedule it after getting the recall notice.
