Lincoln Continental: deaths and injuries the manufacturer reported to NHTSA
Lincoln reported 15 incidents alleging a death or injury in a Lincoln Continental, model years 2017–2020, in its quarterly Early Warning reports to NHTSA (49 CFR 579.21), through 2026 Q1. Each is a claim the manufacturer received, not a finding; NHTSA does not verify them.
