How to Fix
Repair under Lincoln CSP 24B23 — dealer replaces all 4 high-pressure direct injectors free of charge; the program ran through May 31, 2025 with no mileage limit, so after that date ask a dealer whether it still applies to your VIN. If injector tip dropped into cylinder, dealer must replace the engine under powertrain warranty. Do not delay — continued driving multiplies damage.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0087 mean on a Lincoln?

The computer monitors a fuel pressure sensor and has seen pressure fall too low, meaning the engine isn't getting enough fuel — especially noticeable under acceleration or load. This is most common on direct-injection and diesel systems that run very high pressures. Symptoms include hard starting, stalling, hesitation, lack of power, and possible limp mode. On Lincoln it is documented across 1 model: Nautilus.
