The short answer
NHTSA received Ford Motor Company’s report on Jul 25, 2025. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Aviator vehicles.
When closing the windows with the global closing feature, the side rear windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, “Power-Operated Window Systems.”
