What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles manufactured between August 20, 2013, and June 6, 2014. The affected vehicles may have visible air bubbles in the windshield glass, which causes them to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, "Glazing Materials."

The presence of air bubbles in the windshield could impact the driver's visibility, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. This recall involves 1,139 vehicles.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the windshields for air bubbles and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
