23V162000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
A brake fluid leak will increase brake pedal travel and extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
22V011000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
20V177000
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
19V632000
STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist, requiring a greater steering effort, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.
19V590000
SEAT BELTS:FRONT
A failed seat belt anchor cable cannot properly restrain the front seat occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2015 LINCOLN MKZs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
