Looks like all the GTs are being recalled due to potential engine compartment fire

Only those built before May 12th. Mine was built on the 17th so it is good to go.

Just got off the phone with a lawyer associated with the lawsuit related to the first recall and the resulting class action suit filed and still under appeal. Ford has now classified a whole lot more cars under a new recall which replaces the recall that was addressed last year. They cut holes in the bottom of the car and removed some vents in the front. Now they are being told that was not sufficient and has not stopped the engine failures/fires. This is good news/bad news, I guess, for maybe getting the issue safely fixed which means a new engine if they really want to do the right thing.

SoCal is a huge market, so I would say a week or two…

Is your GT in the recall?

A little more than a month from build to shipped, but it’s almost here. I’m hoping I can get it this weekend, otherwise, it’ll be here and ready when I get back.

Great looking Corsair.

Hope get your hands on it before Ford (potentially expands recall) decides exactly what the fix is short of a new engine. Would seem if it's an assembly / part issue unknown why still build them?

Congratulations. I was under the impression that the Corsair was one of the vehicles that had a stop ship, stop sales on it due to the rearview camera issue, recall 23S02. Looks great!

The '23s apparently (at least mine) is not under that one. The one I'm trading in and our '22 GT are part of that recall. Perhaps it is due to Sync 4?

That is a nice Red !!!

Agreed, the wait was is excruciating, but well worth it in the end! Congrats and enjoy your new ride!

Thanks so much, we drove some today on the interstate using the hands-free which is crazy awesome and so easy it’s scary. We suggest to def always keep one eye on the dash display for changes and cancellations. Also the heads up display on the windshield is hard to see with sunglasses.

My Corsair status changed to “Order Confirmed” again today. However, it was built on 05/31. I hope it’s just a software glitch.
Has anybody faced this?

Happened to me too!! But called the concierge AND the dealer and ‘she’s’ definitely on her way!!

I ordered a Corsair GT w/301A on Dec 16 and ask for a 302A upgrade on Mar 6. The 302A upgrade has been approved by Ford. Got the window sticker mid Apr and .... no 302A. It has been built without the upgrade. Dealer told me it had to be reordered (Apr 24) and hope for the best. No VIN yet. Now it seems like all hybrid engines are to be recalled and a "real" fix will be available only this summer. Will I ever get my new car?

I feel for you. My new Avaitor was scheduled to be delivered on June 12th, which will be 7.5 months after being ordered. There is now a hold on the sale and shipping of them along with the Nautilus and Explorer due to a recall.

We have a Reserve III with a blend date 6/5 Jet Appearance black/black. Can anyone confirm in person the headliner color? Initial pictures with ebony interior showed a grayish color while red leather and cashew received black headliners. Local dealer got a 23' in today with ebony interior and the headliner is almost TAN. Can someone with black on black confirm the color? 2022 corsairs were definitely a light gray color.

So, I ordered a 2023 Corsair GT on 9/20 from my retailer. Fully optioned (302A, 24 way seats, tow pkg, etc). Finally built on 4/22, and now has had it's delivery date pushed four times "in order to ensure your complete satisfaction". Definitely feel everyone's pain here, and knew what we were getting into - our Aviator GT took from an 8/21 order date to a 5/22 delivery.

But...whoa. Have never seen a company struggle so badly to make vehicles. The Corsair would be our fourth Lincoln, but in my frustration with the wait (and general apathy from the dealership) I ended up with an Merc EQE 450 4Matic. Walked on to lot, had a number to choose from, whole process took about an hour and a half post test drive. Love our lincolns, and the standard technology packages (when not under recall) beat mercedes, though mercedes has better optional technology.

Will probably proceed with a low mileage lease on the corsair, assuming it ever gets delivered, but has anyone else decided to purchase another car due to the wait, and if so, which one?
