Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2024 Lincoln Nautilus crossovers over a window pinching issue.

Components: power windows
Affected vehicles: select 2024 Lincoln Nautilus models built at the Changan Ford Hangzhou Assembly Plant that are equipped with the recalled Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Module (PDM) introduced into production on September 26th, 2022 and taken out of production on August 5th, 2024.
Number of vehicles affected: 34,493

That was fast. And disgusting.
Always nice to hear from Mr. Positive.
Not a whole lot to be positive about in the automotive market these days, including Ford. Many have started calling this Malaise Era 2.0.
I used to want a Nautilus, maybe in a few years. But now that Ford made the horrible decision to make these in China, they are completely off of my list. I spoke to a self rep who said that (at least in my geographic region), these things are firmly glued to the sales floor, ever since production moved to China.
S/he’s wrong. They can’t keep the ’24’s in the show room. The earlier models arent moving, however. And no one wants the hybrids no matter what year.
Righto. The few ’24s that have made it to the US from China ARE flying off the lots. To 20-somethings to get that techy dash. Problem is, they can’t afford them. Us older folks want a regular dash. This is about to happen next year to the new Navigator as well. All these teenagers creating tech at automakers assume we all want it, but, in reality, few do.
Well, gee. Ford has only had anti-pinch power windows since 2001. Give them time.
I thought everyone wanted pinching windows, now they want to discontinue them! Didn’t Ford just patent pinching windows?
Endless recalls continue at Recall Motors aka Ford. Failure Farley’s job is still secure despite these endless recalls.
