I have a 2019 Lincoln MKC which is in the possession of a Lincoln/ Ford dealership currently after being informed by my local auto shop that I have an internal coolant leak which is listed on Lincoln’s technical service bulletin. I have spoken to Lincoln’s corporate concierge however, they are not willing to issue a recall due to the monetary expense to replace all of the defective engines. This is a Class Action waiting to happen.

I have a 2019 MKC with 2.3 and got an engine warning light under 30,00 miles. It required the dealer to replace the head gasket as coolant was leaking into the 2nd cylinder. Fortunately it was not the problem common with the 2.0 engines although the symptom was similar. My understanding with the 2.0 engines unlike the 2.3 is a design issue. Apparently, they cut channels between the cylinders for coolant to flow to cool the engine. But the channels weaken the metal's structure so that there can be coolant leaks into the engine. Good luck.
