Lincoln is recalling 361 2018 Navigator and Expedition SUVs because the second-row power window control modules can stop window movement after an obstruction is detected.

What's wrong?
The second row window control module is the electronic controller that tells the rear power window when to move up, move down, stop, and reverse. On 2018 Navigator and Expedition vehicles, that module also supports the safety response that backs the glass away when the window meets an obstruction.
Affected modules were built with the wrong internal electronic component. Under a high window load, the module reaches its electrical temperature protection threshold and stops the window movement. If a finger or another object is pinched by the glass at that moment, the stopped module prevents the window from automatically reversing.
Owners can notice intermittent power window operation in the second row. The window can work on one attempt, then stop during power up or power down on another attempt.
Who's affected?
Covers the Navigator and Expedition from the same model year, both tied to the power window controls.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A second-row window that fails to reverse when it meets an obstruction increases the risk of injury. Intermittent power up or power down operation is the warning sign to treat seriously: keep hands, arms, and children clear of the window and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Lincoln dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Lincoln Navigator or Expedition is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Lincoln dealer to schedule the free second-row window control module inspection; the dealer replaces modules with affected build date codes.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 18V058 when you call.
- Keep fingers and objects clear of the second-row power windows until the inspection and any needed replacement are complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lincoln technician inspects the second row window electronic control modules and replaces the modules when their build date codes show they are covered. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the original warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, because that warranty provides a free repair for this concern. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
