Lincoln Aviators Are Recalled to Fix Backup Camera

In documents provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Lincoln says that owners should not use their phone while the vehicle is in Reverse until a dealership can complete a free recall fix by installing additional shielding on an important electronic component inside the vehicle.

The problem is at its worst when the phone is in use, has low signal strength, and is stored in the vehicle’s console or cup holders, the automaker says.

Lincoln says it’s aware of more than 478 complaints from owners about flickering and distorted backup camera images in addition to a single report of minor property damage that’s potentially related to the problem.

This is the latest in a series of recalls involving the Aviator’s backup camera.
