P0456 Code: 2024 Lincoln – What It Means & Cost to Fix

2024 Lincoln Nautilus P0456 Code: EVAP Leak on the Redesigned Nautilus

P0456 on the All-New 2024 Lincoln Nautilus

A P0456 code on your 2024 Lincoln Nautilus—completely redesigned for 2024 with a dramatic new interior featuring a 48-inch panoramic display—indicates the PCM has found a very small leak (0.020-inch equivalent) in the EVAP system. The new Nautilus features a 2.0L turbo I4 with a standard 250 hp or an available 2.0L turbo hybrid, and as a first-year redesign, early EVAP codes are typically minor.

Likely Causes

  1. Gas cap not fully seated (33%) — The simplest cause. Click firmly.
  2. Software calibration sensitivity (25%) — First-year redesigns often need calibration refinements.
  3. Factory EVAP connection variance (18%) — A fitting not fully engaged from assembly.
  4. Purge or vent valve irregularity (12%) — A marginally out-of-spec component.
  5. New seal break-in (7%) — Fresh seals needing thermal cycling.
  6. Transport artifact (5%) — Connection disturbed during delivery.

What to Do

  1. Check the gas cap — Remove, inspect, reinstall firmly.
  2. Lincoln dealer visit — Full warranty, zero cost. FDRS diagnostics and TSB check.
  3. Software update and repair — Dealer handles everything under warranty.

Cost

  • Under warranty: $0—covered through 2028 (basic) and 2032 (emissions)
  • Gas cap (DIY): $15–$30

Warranty

Your 2024 Nautilus carries Lincoln's 4-year/50,000-mile comprehensive warranty through 2028 and federal emissions coverage for 8 years/80,000 miles through 2032. Take it to the dealer at no cost.
