Buying a used 2025 Lincoln Aviator? Check these 15 recalls first

15 NHTSA recalls · 18 owner complaints on file

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator has 15 recalls in this group. Transmission defects and loose transmission bolts stand out alongside seat movement, hitch bolts, windshield bubbles, and belt anchors. Other campaigns address cameras and driver assistance, window reversal, trailer lights, and a subframe bolt. The 18 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 5 service brake, 5 electrical system, 4 forward collision avoidance, and 3 seat reports. Brake complaints warrant separate attention because the listed recall titles do not identify a brake campaign.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Obtain transmission, subframe bolt, and hitch bolt recall repair records.
  3. Verify seat, belt anchor, windshield, and window reversal recall completion.
  4. Ask about brake symptoms and camera or collision-warning faults.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Lincoln dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
