Known issues on the 2013 MKX. Service brakes lead the 163 owner complaints for the 2013 MKX, accounting for 60, ahead of the electrical system at 30 and the power train at 16. Among those complaints, 7 reported a crash, 2 a fire, 2 an injury and 1 a death. The single recall covers certain 2013 MKX vehicles built within a set production window whose halfshaft retaining clip may have been installed incorrectly; the shaft could then separate from the linkshaft, cutting drive to the wheels and allowing a roll-away if the parking brake was not applied. Dealers inspected the retention and replaced parts as needed. Brake, drivetrain and electrical procedures, specifications and diagnostics in this manual correspond to these areas.
