Buying a used 2024 Lincoln Aviator? Check these 8 recalls first
The 2024 record is lighter than the prior year and has no critical-level recall. The high-severity items are fastener-related: trailer hitch bolts that may loosen and loose seat belt anchor bolts. Below that are two separate second-row seat recalls, a flickering backup camera, a camera image that can flip, rear window trim that can fall off, and a missing dashboard airbag warning label. Only 6 unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, with no fires and no reported injuries.
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.
- Check the VIN for both second-row seat recalls, which were issued separately
- If it has a hitch, ask whether the hitch bolt recall was completed and inspect the bolts
- Look for the dashboard airbag warning label and shift the reverse camera through a full backing maneuver
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
