## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2023 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles.  The rear shock absorbers may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in damage to the rear brake hose, rear axle half shaft, wheel speed sensor, and/or stabilizer bar end links.


## What can happen

A damaged brake hose can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rear shocks, rear brake hoses, rear wheel speed sensor, and rear half shafts as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed August 17, 2023.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 23S32.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
