Lincoln Aviator rear windows may exert excessive force before reversing

Ford is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Aviator vehicles because when using the global closing feature, the side rear windows may exert excessive force on an object before automatically reversing.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: the window does reverse but only after applying excessive force, presenting a pinch hazard, and no injuries are recorded.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Aviator vehicles. About 23,111 units are potentially affected.

When closing the windows with the global closing feature, the side rear windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems".

NHTSA states that a closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will update the Body Control Module software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 7, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
