Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Aviator vehicles. The vehicles have a power window system with a global closing feature that may not function correctly. When closing the side rear windows using this feature, the windows may exert excessive force on objects before automatically reversing, as required by federal safety standards.
If a window does not reverse as expected, it may pinch a passenger's hand, arm, or other body part as the window closes, creating a risk of injury.
Approximately 23,111 Lincoln Aviator vehicles from model year 2025 are potentially affected by this issue.
Ford will repair affected vehicles at no cost to owners. The remedy involves a software update to the Body Control Module. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 7, 2025. Affected owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule the update, or visit an authorized Ford dealer.
