Buying a used 2023 Lincoln Aviator? Check these 16 recalls first
This year carries a critical recall for vehicles rolling away from Park, plus fuel pump failure that can stall the engine and loose seat belt anchor bolts. What stands out is the backup camera history: five separate camera recalls, including one Aviator-specific flickering issue and an earlier camera recall that had to be redone. Second-row seats shifting and rear window trim detaching are also listed. The 23 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA cluster in electrical and back-over prevention, echoing the camera pattern.
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.
- Run the VIN for open recalls, especially the roll-away-from-Park and fuel pump items
- Confirm the redone backup camera recall was performed, then test the camera repeatedly in reverse
- Have seat belt anchor bolts torque-checked and push/pull the second-row seats for movement
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
