NHTSA Service Bulletin 10250836: 2024 Lincoln Nautilus
Official manufacturer communication context for 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, with affected products, buyer checks and links into Carchieve recall, problem and VIN research.
Reviewed June 2026 from NHTSA manufacturer communication and service bulletin records. Carchieve is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or government agency.
Some 2024 Nautilus vehicles may exhibit low battery state of charge that may be attributed to extended transit times from the assembly plant to the dealerships. It is critical that the battery state of charge (SOC) is above 70% before delivery to the customers. The Lincoln electronic pre-delivery inspection (ePDI) process should be fully completed, which includes battery state of charge checks. Do not utilize the ePDI IDS override function to bypass these checks. If SOC is below 70% the battery must be charged with the charger's negative clamp on an engine or chassis ground. Refer to the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 2.9.00 Storage of New Vehicles for battery charging warranty guidelines.
