Electrical connector and wiring harness melted due to close proximity to the right rear exhaust pipe. Experiencing intermittent parking brake fault messages that results in a check engine light, when climbing a grade longer then 1 mile long. Suspect extra heat produced from engine load had damaged some of the internal wires of the connector. This first occurred with 2000 miles on the odometer, 2 months old. Lincoln started producing these GT model Corsairs with a heat shield missing (that was part of 2021 and some 2022 models) that probably would have protected this wiring harness. Not sure what circuits are running through this connector, but their are a lot of wires in it. The connector is melted enough that it probably cannot be unplugged anymore. There is melted plastic residue on the exhaust pipe from the connector. Dealer has confirmed the melted connecter and zip tied the connector further away from the exhaust pipe as a temporary fix till they can investigate further.

Please know we attempted to have our 2020 Lincoln Corsair inspected at an authorized Texas inspection Station and the Computer System would not allow an interface so we could not get the vehicle inspected . We then had to go to a Lincoln Dealer and they also had trouble with the computer system and were finally able to inspect the vehicle somehow, but not sure how they were able to finally inspect the vehicle. When we took our vehicle in to the Lincoln Dealer in September 2023 for the Temporary Fix for the Recall Notice 23S23 Blue or Black Image on the SYNC screen, again, the Dealer was not able to accomplish this because of the vehicle Computer System not being able to interface. We do believe we have a Computer System or Computer Software issue with our Lincoln Corsair.

My Car has swollen lug nuts . I was informed of this by a Dealer who refused to remove the nuts to rotate the tires . I expressed a concern that I had a flat would the lug wrench remove nuts . I was told probably not. I travel long distances . This possibly means I could be stranded for an extended time due to a known fact. I have replaced the nuts but believe I should have been notified earlier by Lincoln .
