What's wrong, in plain English
Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Aviator SUVs. The bars that divide the rear door windows and the trim on the pillar behind the rear doors may not have enough adhesive holding them in place. Without enough bonding, those pieces can come away from the vehicle. Dealers will repair or replace the pillar appliques and the window division bars on the vehicles that are covered by this recall.

2. Contact a Lincoln or Ford dealer to have the C-pillar trim and window division bars repaired or replaced, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair is free of charge.
