Buying a used 2022 Lincoln Aviator? Check these 21 recalls first
Ten recalls, three critical: a fuel filler tube that may detach, engine rails that may be weak, and plug-in hybrid battery failure. High-severity items cover EcoBoost engine breakage, fuel pump stalling, and loose seat belt anchor bolts; three separate mid-severity recalls address backup cameras going blank, plus headrest cushions that can come off. NHTSA lists 44 unverified owner complaints with four crashes, one fire, and three injuries, concentrated in back-over prevention, structure, electrical system, and visibility/wiper.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for proof the fuel filler tube and engine rail recalls were remedied, and check for fuel odor when refueling
- Shift to reverse repeatedly to confirm the backup camera stays on, since three separate camera recalls apply
- Inspect front headrest cushions and seat belt anchor bolts, and ask about any engine or stalling repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
