Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 1,189 of its 2026 Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the driver's seat may move unexpectedly. A software malfunction in the seat's obstacle detection system can cause the seat to reverse while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds. Ford will update the seat control module software for free through a dealership visit or an over-the-air (OTA) update.
If the driver's seat moves backward unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, the driver may lose the ability to reach the pedals or maintain proper control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
