- Problem
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles equipped with a Revel Audio System that were repaired incorrectly under recall 22V-953.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

- An audible warning chime that does not properly alert of an unbelted seat belt can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C18.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator and Corsair vehicles with a Revel Audio System were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. When the driver's seat belt is not buckled and the vehicle is started, the audible seat belt warning chime may sound for less than 4 seconds. This means the vehicle does not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
