What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Lincoln Aviator vehicles. The image processing module may be unable to provide video feed to the display, which could result in a loss of the backup camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Why it is dangerous
A backup camera that displays a blank or distorted image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the image processing module software with the latest level, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21C09.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-223 when calling a dealer.
