What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Aviator vehicles. A module that handles the vehicle's screen system can be affected by interference from a cell phone inside the car. When that happens, the picture from the back-up camera can flicker or look distorted. Dealers will fit shielding on that module to keep the interference out. Ford is having this work done at no cost to owners.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included. 2. Until the repair is done, Ford advises owners not to use their cell phones while reversing. 3. Contact a Lincoln dealer to have the shielding installed, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332; the repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V368000.
