Recall 25V-338: 2020–2023 Lincoln Aviator, 2020–2023 Lincoln Corsair
Ford Motor Company recall for seat belts, reported to NHTSA on May 23, 2025, covering about 4,442 vehicles.
The problem
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles equipped with a Revel Audio System that were repaired incorrectly under recall 22V-953. When the driver's seat belt is not buckled and the vehicle is started, the seat belt warning system may activate the audible warning chime for an insufficient amount of time of less than 4 seconds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
The risk
An audible warning chime that does not properly alert of an unbelted seat belt can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C18.
