What is the anticipated (acceptable) length of time for scheduling warranty repairs on a 2020 Lincoln Navigator Black Label?
I’ve been told 6-8 weeks for scheduling warranty repairs with a loaner provided. I have the standard warranty plus I purchased the Lincoln extended warranty.

Hi MBM and welcome to the Lincoln Forums. Action did a great job of covering your question and its numerous variables.

In normal, pre-pandemic times, one to two weeks would usually be an average time line for an appointment with a loaner. But these are not normal times, so scheduling timelines are extended. And it will vary form Dealer to Dealer. Some Dealers are not even able to currently offer loaners at all.

You can also call Lincoln Concierge to see if the can help. In the case of Dealers with no avaialbe loaners, they currently offer up to $45 a day towards a rental car.

Also, you don't mention what type of warranty service you are having performed. One day in the shop, multi days etc.? If you can live without the loaner, you would probably be able to be scheduled sooner. In cases like that, you can use the Drop-off/Pick-up service (The Dealer will come pick up your vehicle and then drop it off when it is finished).

Or if you wish to drop the car off yourself, most Dealers also offer rides back home, then will pick you up when the vehicle service is finished.

Mine usuall (pre-pandemic) had "runners" who will bring you home/pick you up (usually retired men/women they hire for the job). Now, they arrange Uber rides, which they pay for. My guess is for liability reasons right now.

I would recommend calling Lincoln Concierge to see what other options you may have.

Hope some of this may help, let us know how you make out and good luck.

Here’s the story; back around the first of the year the RH running board on our 2020 Navigator was operating erratically. Sometimes it wouldn’t deploy and other times it would start to deploy and at about half way out it would retract. I called our Lincoln Dealership in mid-March to schedule routine service and I asked if they could check the running board issue while it was at the dealership for service.
The routine service was scheduled and completed in two weeks (end of March). I was told they wouldn’t be able to look at the running boards until mid May, which was approximately 8 weeks later.
I visited with the Service Writer to see if he could get it in sooner and he said that he didn’t have a loaner available but if I wanted to drop it off he would try to work it in, but it would likely be at the dealership for a couple weeks. I didn’t like the idea of my Navigator sitting at the dealership for a couple weeks so I decided I would live with the problem until Mid May.
Last Thursday we drove the Navigator and everything worked fine. On Friday I opened the passenger door and nothing worked, the battery was dead.
It appears that either the issue with the running board drained the battery or the battery was failing and that caused the running board issue.
I called the dealership on Saturday and they said they would call me today, (Monday) with a solution. It’s 4:30 and no call.
I called Lincoln Concierge today and they offered to help me locate another dealership.
I’ve owned 5 Ford Expeditions over the years and they were all excellent vehicles.
I anticipated that this Navigator Black Label would be a major upgrade in the ownership experience. I’m having second thoughts about that. I do love the vehicle but I am surprised and disappointed in the service experience.

The RH running board on our 2020 Navigator developed an intermittent problem, at times it worked like it was supposed to, at other times it would come out halfway and then retract.
Our 2020 Nav has just over 6,000 miles.
As I mentioned, I asked our Lincoln Dealer to fix the running boards when we sent it to the dealership back in March for service, they said they were backed up and scheduled the running board repair 8 weeks later - which didn’t set well with me.
During the 8 weeks, the battery on the Nav failed and I went to the Lincoln Dealership to see if they would give me a replacement battery that I would install myself and then I would take the faulty battery to them. The Service Writer said he couldn’t do that and suggested I contact roadside assistance and have it towed to the dealership.
My local Ford Dealer allowed me to bring the old battery in and they tested it overnight and determined that it was faulty and they provided an exact Motorcraft replacement battery which I installed.
Still had running board issues and the erratic operation got worse until the RH running board stayed out.
The Lincoln Dealership came to pick it up for the repair and while the driver was at my house, the running board suddenly decided to retract!
After two days at the dealership the Service Writer called and said the issue was the battery not being fully charged and that was due to the fact that we don’t drive the vehicle enough!
He told me to drive it and that should fix the problem.
I don’t buy that at all because during 2020 and into 2021 we didn’t drive it much due to COVID and the running boards worked fine.
The dealership driver brought our Nav back and he handed me the repair order. I opened the passenger door and the running board came out approximately two inches and retracted. It did that same thing repeatedly. The driver took the Nav back to the dealership and that’s where we are at today.
I’ve owned 5 Ford Expeditions and three of them had retractable running boards and I never had a problem with those.
I believe there is some parasitic drain on the battery that is likely causing the problem.

I sent a screenshot of your report to our Service Advisor on Thursday. Hopefully he will look at the motor. Your issue sounded exactly like ours.

Have the same issue with ours right now, but with the battery issue, have them check the wiring harness below the battery, apparently where Lincoln was storing their cars rodents were eating the wire wrap….this is what I heard. Replaced a wire and accessories started working, etc passenger side running board. I too had to change to dealer #2, they just did a number on my transmission, but dealer #1 had the car a month and could not figure out any of the issues that were fixed by dealer #2 in one day…

We're on our third trip of 725 miles both ways, and I have again noticed a bias in the car's centering behavior when on cruise control with the lane centering feature enabled. I noticed it during the first two trips - then the windshield got replaced which prompts a recalibration of the system. On this first leg out of state this 3rd trip - the same occurred. Today I tried a test (1 data point - need to validate with more) - I gently drove over to the right white line, and I noted that right when my mind concluded the tires were at or near the line the steering wheel chattered and the car torqued steering to the left. When slowly going toward the two center lines, however I noted that until I thought I was definitely further over to the left (i.e. onto the left most line) than the prior test, then the steering wheel chattered. On the interstate coming up, I noted that a couple of times it drifted gently to the left part of the lane on gentle right turns to where the tires were riding on the lane dividing reflectors before the system started to act.

So... I believe mine has a bias too far to the left.

Has anyone noticed a bias in your 'centering'? If so, what have you done about it? Does anyone know of or heard of a way to 'calibrate' the device or bias it either way?

I can't imagine trying to explain this to a service advisor so it can be accurately communicated to a tech. They'll likely hook up a test device and say 'it all checks out OK!'

So... our last trip back from North Carolina was this past Saturday. I drove enough to test the lane centering more. I have two observations - 1) I like it as much as (if not more than) the last time when I noted how to actually turn on the centerning feature, and... 2) at the very high speeds I noted no rocking this time like before. It's almost as if it did some learning and moderated the input at the higher velocities.

I think now we've come full circle. I couldn't understand / figure out what we had when I initiated the post back in late August. We had great input from others to slap me in the face on how to push the right buttons. I like the way the buttons work. The lane centering is quite a bit improved over my 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 sedan.

As far as I'm concerned we can close this post from further comment!

I just bought a '23 Aviator Plug-in Hybrid and I did a search for this issue. I feel like it's hugging the left side of the lane while using lane centering. I'm constantly holding the wheel a bit to the right to counter the bias.

I don't use it and frankly don't see a need for it. I much prefer to have full control over the car and my driving.

I use BC/ACC all the time. Makes driving much more relaxing in all the Texas traffic.

Ours has a bit of right side lane bias. It kinda wants to ride the right line. Then if you drift just a little bit, it wants to steer you over again. Has always made me wonder is this a software thing, or some sort of camera alignment thing.

We have a 2022 BL Aviator, so also not sure if it depends on year as to any quirks with this sort of thing.

“Unfortunately”, mine are not much past the half way ware mark at 54k miles. I dislike them greatly in our adverse wintery weather here in Michigan. Wife has been pushing to keep them until they need replacement. I am thinking Michelin CC2’s this spring and forgetting about them.

That said, ware has been even with regular tire rotations. They certainly last a long time. They are otherwise fine in non-winter weather.

When one makes a change to a common module/code, it has to be retested all platforms where used. If you add models, years, etc. there can be a lot of test cases.

FWIW, maybe it was here, but I read that Tesla puts out a lot of updates because they put out bad updates that then need to be corrected by future updates.

Maybe, but in 2025 US Tesla owners received an average of 111 OTA updates, with 12 of them being major updates. If 10% of those are "do-overs" I'd gladly take that over the reality of life as a Lincoln owner.

About 70K of us in the US bought '24 and '25 Nautilus, nominally an upscale vehicle. I've seen posts as recently as this Spring indicating Lincoln was still talking about a BC update for the Nautilus.

I did get one OTA that was a tweak to BC operation, sounded like it was a small, single issue update; if it was a full upgrade to BC 1.4 they would have said so. (I actually do read the SW update notices, however uninformative many of them may be :) )

Don't read into my comment that I am defending Lincoln here. I have been outspoken that OTA updates have been a huge disappointment.

Ironically, I got the update a few days ago for the TCU improvement. First update since March.

I look at OTAs as Lincoln's battery drain exercise :) On hybrids even a pretty simple one like the DDM update I got last week take a noticeable toll on the battery Voltage/State of Charge. This is with a new as of end of 2025 battery that I've made sure to keep above 12.4V via driving or putting on a charger when it gets close to that point.

They hybrid is more directly effected due to the significantly smaller 12v battery. It will take a lot less time to deplete and will fail after soo many hard discharges.
The non-hybrid suffers the same issues but it can go longer before the battery fails.

The OTA updates seem to often cause modules to hang and drain the battery. I have only had a few successful updates before it will either start failing updates or just stop reporting available updates. If a module isn't sleeping then you will start to see the car go into battery saver mode.

Oh ok. Quick question. I been looking into just replacing the whole motor and transmission on this car. because i looked at a site that gave me reason for a P0420 code and it can be a lot of things and the engines in the mkz are known to not be reliable. So i was wondering have you heard or seen a Lincoln MKZ get a mustang 3.7L coyote motor swapped into it and it runs smooth if not better ? I'm wondering because every where i looked it says compatible as long as the vin has the k on it. And do you have any website that sells performance parts for mkz like full suspension kit? etc . I love this car and dont mind investing to keep it running smooth as i will own it a few years so the expense will be worth it to me. Thanks

EDIT- Sorry. For some reason, the replies of you and Action, from after your post which I quoted above, did not show up for me, until after I posted this reply. So some of the information I posted below is now repetitive.

Hi Sir_Trendy. Without getting into a debate about the assertion that "...the engines in the MKZ are known to not be reliable", here is some information about attempting to install a 3.7L "coyote" Mustang engine into the MKZ:
- First, the 3.7L engine is not a "Coyote". The Coyote engine is a family of V-8 engines. Short story...If a V-8 Coyote is the engine you want to install, it is not a realistic engine swap, in any way, shape or form.
- Next, the 3.7L engine was the "Cyclone" engine family, and they are V-6's. However, any version in a Mustang was designed for a RWD vehicle. Not a FWD or AWD vehicle like the MKZ.
- That being said, a version of the 3.7L Cyclone V-6 was the top engine choice available in the 2nd Generation MKZ (2013-2016 model years), until the 2017 model year, when the 3.0T twin-turbo engine was introduced and became the top engine choice.
- So while you could use a 3.7L engine out of an MKZ or similar FWD/AWD Lincoln/Ford vehicle, using one from a RWD Mustang would be extremely difficult, at best.

So take that information, and what others will advise, and proceed as you feel is best for you.

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Humbly submit you will be many bucks ahead getting an actual diagnosis from someone experienced, before throwing parts (even "small" ones) at the car to see what sticks.

The only unique threat with the 3.7l is the internal water pump, which in event of failure will weep coolant into the oil, compounding what could be a simple-ish overheat. Keeping a good eye on coolant and oil can prevent catastrophe, but that discipline is rare these days.

I don't know about interchangability among the v6s, but the DOHC 4-cam 4.6 found in sn95 Cobras and gen9 Continentals used different mounting bosses for longitudinal (rwd) and transverse (fwd) applications, and only the needed holes were drilled.

Thanks for this information brother !! You opened my eyes to something i was missing and saved me alot of money before i spent it

Good luck.
BTW that link above is NOT a Coyote engine as stated in post #20. Not even close
As you stated a Coyote engine starts at $10K and goes up fast from there.
After tax, options to get the remanufactured engine delivered and miscellaneous pieces, you will be at the $10K mark.
Without a transmission.

Sounds like you should go back to the mechanic. Ideally they will stand behind their work, worst case they may tell you about anything weird that happened or was observed. Can't really tell much useful from here, beyond "did you check the brake fluid level?"

Got 2 recall letters this week. Thank you Lincoln for telling me about these problems I didn't know about my car and then telling me you have no fix. I feel better now.

Well, it’s still the NU5T-14G381-AD version.
GapBoyPCS
*Edit - I just got a letter in the mail from Ford of Canada dated June 23, 2026 about it that only stated "Ford has authorized your dealer to update the SYNC system free of charge."

My dealer called me to schedule me in for the recall. Unless this is a new level of service, this is the first time I’ve had my dealer ever call me to come in for a recall (my family and I been going to this dealer for decades). At least this is a software issue. I'm going in two weeks for the "fix".

Aside from that, all I have are the wiper recall, and the engine block heater.

But I'm still a bit confused. It's too bad the SYNC sites don't mention the latest update is to address the recall. A few things went through my head -- mainly, what would happen if someone were to do the SYNC update but never knew or was aware it was to fix the recall. If someone just updated SYNC, would it get flagged in the system that the owner/driver "fixed" it and the recall was addressed? Or, if someone bricked their system from the update for whatever reason, would that create more issues when an owner tries to get it fixed and something in the system said the owner already downloaded and installed the update?

Oops. Misread that. Yeah, same as mine (still there, just checked this AM).

Most cars will check in with Ford via wifi to report the current version, and all of the instructions have noted that you should upload to the web the log file the car saves upon install, so the update is registered as done. Whether or not you have the recall, the update would be noted that you're up to date (my former '17 Fusion would work the same way, so this is not a specific issue to the recall). In the case of the recall, uploading the log file should also flag that you've taken care of the recall update. If it fails, you probably won't get the log file saved to your USB (and you probably would not upload it given you knew it was not complete) nor will the system be able to report the update being done via wifi.

Good point about the log file - I'd just make sure to upload it either way so there's a clear record that the recall was addressed and you don't get hassled about it later.

I got a letter advising me that the remedy for the inverted rear camera display is available. It says to contact the dealer for an appointment for the software update. It must be a major update if I can’t just download and install it myself.

Anyone have cross bars on their Aviator? What kind/brand did you end up with? I can't tell but the one's from Lincoln look like the slim flimsy ones that might not hold much weight. But I also don't want something bulky like the Thule which might cause a lot of wind noise. Just looking to occasionally carry our cargo carrier a couple times a year.

I have Thule crossbars obtained through the Lincoln dealer on my 2021Aviator and I use a large Thule cargo box. However the downside is that if you have a moon roof, Lincoln (see owner’s manual) limits the cargo’s weight to 85 lbs. The limit is about 150 lbs if you do not have a moon roof. We’ve driven round trip from Texas to Oregon, and the Thule products are pretty quiet.

FYI, here are the weight restrictions for the Aviator.

Thanks for the info! But 82lbs is crazy

I believe these weights are set for vehicle stability and have nothing to do with the strength of the roof.

This is mostly a rhetorical post - but if any of you have sat in your car, engine off for any period of time I'm assuming you've heard what I have, yes? This doesn't seem to matter how you got there... the conditions are: engine off, you are in the car, your key fob is also in the car (maybe not as well), and you may or may not be listening to Lincoln's fine audio system.

What I've noted is that there are multiple times where you hear all around you various relays energizing and/or de-energizing. It's kind-of funny, but as an engineer I'm really curious what modes of operation the Lincoln engineers programmed. I see no action as a result of the noise (light coming on/going off, doors opening/closing, audio starting/stopping). You just hear this not very subtle litany of clicks and clacks.

Anyone else had this pique your curiosity or simply make you wonder?

Maybe I got a special model, my relays shut down to the tune of In-a-gadda-da-vida and take 17 minutes to fully turn off. :cool:

I hadn't put a timer on it - but that description sounds about right. Interesting to say the least.

I am the original owner and purchased my 2018 Lincoln Continental when it was brand new. I have close to 48,000 miles and this strange clicking noise began on June 23, 2026 after I turned the engine off! This was the first time my vehicle made these clicking sounds which last about 10-12 seconds.
peterk9
It's perfectly normal. My previous 2 Aviators and my current one did the same thing. I actually think it goes on longer than mentioned above.
