Lincoln Aviator
Model Overview
The Aviator is Lincoln's entry in the mid-size, three-row luxury crossover class. Although it's essentially a more stylish version of the Ford Explorer, the Aviator blurs that relationship with a well-done interior that oozes upscale touches. This is North America's best bet yet to break Europe's stranglehold on the luxury utility category, thanks to strong performance and a long list of standard luxury and high-tech features.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
24S55
Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the intake valves may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the valves could break and cause the engine to fail.
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engine. This problem would cause the engine to run rough and the engine malfunction indicator lamp to turn on.

An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine.

Units Affected:

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a cell phone signal could interfere with the accessory protocol image module (APIM) and cause the rearview camera image to flicker. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display properly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a cover on the APIM.

Issue:
On certain plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, there may be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, one or more of the cells in the battery could short circuit and overheat. If this happens, the battery could turn off and cause a loss of power to the wheels.
Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A high-voltage battery that overheats could create a fire risk.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to test the battery energy control module (BECM). If the test results show a problem with high-voltage battery pack, it will be replaced.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the cover for the manual park release (MPR) lever may not be installed. If the MPR lever is accidentally pushed, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without a key in the ignition. Canadian regulations require a cover over this lever. Additionally, the vehicle may also be in Factory Mode, which disables warning alerts and chimes, and does not display the transmission gear position (under certain conditions).
Safety Risk:
A missing MPR cover could create a situation where the transmission can be shifted without a key in the ignition. If the transmission position is not displayed, a user may not know that the vehicle is not in the PARK position. If the parking brake is not applied, either of these situations could create a risk of a vehicle roll-away and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect for the MPR cover. If missing, it will be installed. The dealer will also verify that the instrument cluster is not set to Factory Mode.
