2010 LINCOLN ZEPHYR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2010 Lincoln Zephyr has 0 complaints and 16 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to safety systems including the air bag inflators and the antilock brake system. No customer complaints specific to mechanical or performance defects are recorded.
There are 16 recalls addressing various defects primarily affecting the airbag inflators and the antilock/traction control brake system. These recalls cover potential risks of airbag inflator rupture and brake system malfunctions that could impact vehicle safety.
Recalls- ABS Hydraulic Control Unit. Recall 19V904000 affects 600,166 vehicles including the 2010 Zephyr. Valves within the ABS hydraulic control unit may react with certain brake fluids, causing improper closure. The risk involves increased brake pedal travel leading to higher crash risk. Ford will flush the brake system, install a new reservoir cap, and test or replace the HCU free of charge.
- Passenger Air Bag Inflator. Recall 19V001000 covers 782,384 vehicles including 2010 Zephyr models depending on state registration. The inflator may explode due to propellant degradation after long exposure to high humidity and temperature changes. This can send metal fragments into occupants, causing serious injury or death. Owners are advised not to drive until repair, which includes airbag inflator replacement at no cost.
- Driver Air Bag Inflator. Recall 21V158000 includes 2,602,668 vehicles between 2006 and 2012, among them the 2010 Zephyr. The driver airbag inflator may rupture from propellant degradation under certain conditions. This creates a risk of metal debris causing injury or death. Ford will replace the driver inflator free of charge, with notification letters already sent to owners.
- Passenger Air Bag Inflator Zone A and B. Recall 16V384000 affects 1,892,343 vehicles in specified states including the 2010 Zephyr. Air bag inflators may rupture in a crash due to propellant degradation related to humidity and temperature cycling. This defect risks serious injury from metal fragments. Owners in affected zones are advised not to drive until the repair is completed, which involves replacement of the inflator without charge.
Owners of 2010 Lincoln Zephyr vehicles that encounter repeated repairs, unresolved safety defects, or outstanding recall repairs may want to explore potential rights under their state lemon law. Legal guidance can help clarify available remedies in such situations.
