2025 Lincoln Navigator

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator — the launch year of the redesigned fourth generation — sits at the low end of the federal complaint arc for this nameplate, with only 11 complaints and 6 recalls recorded against 139 TSBs. That complaint figure is materially better than the late third-generation peak of 69 (2019) and the recall-heavy 2020–2022 stretch, when 12–14 recalls per year suggested a manufacturer working through accumulating build issues. The trend through 2023–2025 (6, 15, then 11 complaints; 8, 7, then 6 recalls) is one of clear improvement as the new generation stabilized, though TSB volume at 139 indicates Ford/Lincoln is still actively publishing service guidance for early-build fixes. Top complaint areas for 2025 are thinly distributed — single reports apiece for steering/brakes, visibility, wipers, and forward collision avoidance — with zero crash or fire complaints, so the data does not point to any specific systemic defect in this model year. The post-2025 entries (2026, 2027) are too incomplete to draw conclusions from, and the data does not specify root causes for the 2025 reports. On the federal record alone, the 2025 Navigator is a defensible used buy, though a pre-purchase inspection to confirm recall completion and any outstanding TSB remedies is still warranted.
