Ford recalls 132K Lincoln Aviators due to detaching parts

The carmaker estimates that only 3.2% of the recalled vehicles may be impacted.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling 132,914 Lincoln Aviator SUVs in the United States due to safety concerns that exterior parts of the vehicle may become detached.

Detaching parts, especially when the vehicle is in motion, can cause a road hazard and significantly increase the risk of a crash or property damage to other cars. Ford says that it’s unaware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to the recall.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s report, Ford noted that inadequate application pressure during assembly may have resulted in insufficient adhesive retention. The defect could cause the vehicle’s rear door window bars and C-pillar trim to loosen or detach from the car.

The recall number is 25S66, and it covers Lincoln Aviators from model years 2020–2025. Ford estimates that 3.2%, or roughly 4,253, of the 132,914 recalled vehicles may be affected by the defect. Lincoln dealers will repair or replace the C-pillar applique and window division bars on impacted cars free of charge.

Ford reported the issue to the NHTSA on June 13 and will begin mailing owner notification letters outlining the safety risks on July 28. The automaker will send a follow-up letter once a resolution is found that will permanently affix the parts to affected vehicles.
