Ford, the parent company of Lincoln, on June 2 issued a recall of nearly 143,000 of its Lincoln MKC compact SUVs over an issue that could lead to a spontaneous fire in the engine compartment.

The potential danger has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to issue an urgent recall notice for 2015-2019 model-year MKCs, which affects 142,734 vehicles.
