Lincoln Aviator

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the windshield glass may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, air bubbles could appear in the windshield glass. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Air bubbles in the windshield glass could cause reduced visibility 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 windshield glass.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the trailer hitch bolts may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the bolts could loosen and the hitch could detach from the vehicle. 
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with the trailer tow package. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A trailer hitch and/or towed trailer that detaches from a vehicle could create a road hazard for others and/or create 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, tighten or replace the trailer hitch bolts.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the body control module (BCM) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the trailer taillights may not work when towing a trailer.  
Note: This problem could cause a trailer error message to display in the instrument cluster and various electrical systems not to work properly. 
 
Safety Risk: 
Trailer taillights that don't work could make the vehicle less visible to others 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 BCM.

Issue: 
When using the key fob "global close" feature or the LincolnWay mobile application to close the windows, a software problem could cause the window automatic reversal system for the rear windows not to work. If this happens, a rear window may not stop and retract after detecting an object. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. 

Safety Risk: 
A window that closes with too much force could create a risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module software.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
