Lincoln Aviator: High Voltage
Affects Lincoln Aviator · 2020–2022 — about 356 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, there may be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, one or more of the cells in the battery could short circuit and overheat. If this happens, the battery could turn off and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A high-voltage battery that overheats could create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to test the battery energy control module (BECM). If the test results show a problem with high-voltage battery pack, it will be replaced.
