Lincoln recently announced that it will recall the plug-and-mixed aviators produced between September 18, 2021 and December 13, 2021 in the U.S. market, with a total of 585 vehicles involved. The reason for this recall is that an uncertified employee of its wiring harness supplier did not follow the correct production process to install the wiring harness, resulting in a risk of the bus harness of the charging port falling off, resulting in a series of breakdowns that increase the risk of vehicle collision. The worker was responsible for installing the harnesses of only 283 of them, but Lincoln could no longer trace the specific vehicles, so he decided to recall all the Aviator models produced during the period.
This installation error problem should not be underestimated, the failure caused by it may bring a very serious safety hazard to the pilot, if the busbar falls off during the driving process, there may be a fault code and there may be a power outage, resulting in an increased risk of collision. If the speed of the vehicle drops to 3.2km/h, the words "Stop Now Safely" will be displayed on the dashboard inside the vehicle and it will suddenly lose power.
To address these issues, Lincoln decided to recall all pilots produced during the period on the 18th of this month, and they will notify the owners by mail to move the vehicle to the dealership for free maintenance, and if necessary, the dealer will replace the vehicle with a new wiring harness.
