Faulty Seat Switch Triggers Recall of Ford Explorers, Aviators
Ford's recall record in recent years has been extensive, with safety campaigns covering everything from engines and electronic glitches to improperly secured parts. Earlier this month, the automaker issued a recall for nearly 500,000 older-generation Ford Explorers due to an issue with the exterior trim that could cause it to come loose. While seemingly innocuous, the loose body panel could pose a potential hazard to other road users, which warranted a voluntary recall from the Blue Oval. Now, there's another recall notice, and this time it affects more than 300,000 units of two of Ford's most important SUVs: the 2020–2025 Ford Explorer and its luxury sibling, the Lincoln Aviator, manufactured between October 19, 2018, and November 4, 2024. At the center of this new safety issue is something that seems minor at first – second-row seat switch bezels – but the consequences could be serious. According to the recall document published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this week, the voluntary safety recall stems from a defect of the second-row seat easy-entry switch bezel. The document says that the trim around the switch may have been installed incorrectly, creating interference that can cause the button to stick in the down position. If that happens, the seat may unexpectedly fold or slide forward, even while the vehicle is moving. Needless to say, that kind of unprompted movement poses an obvious safety risk, especially to passengers seated in the second row. A seat that folds or shifts without warning during driving could result in injury, and in the event of a crash, the consequences could be compounded. While Ford has acknowledged nearly 100 reports of the issue across affected models, the automaker says there have been no known accidents or injuries tied to the defect so far. Ford will begin notifying dealers and affected customers later this month. Owners of affected Explorer and Aviator vehicles will be advised to visit a dealer for a free inspection of the switch bezel. If it's damaged or improperly installed, it will be replaced. Dealers will also test and confirm proper function of the switch to ensure the issue is fully resolved. The repair process will be carried out at no cost. To check if your Explorer or Aviator is affected, Ford's VIN lookup tool is already live. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

2026 Lincoln Aviator Review: Expert Insights, Pricing, and Trims
Lincoln's lineup is the strongest it's been in decades. The redesigned Nautilus just won our SUV of the Year award while the Navigator and the Aviator are fresh from a major update for 2025. For 2026, the Aviator carries over with updates to its BlueCruise hands-free driving system and other tweaks to its trim structure. A three-row SUV slotting between the two-row Nautilus and full-size Navigator, the Aviator competes against the Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, and Buick Enclave. What's New Discounted Premiere 100A Entry Series option deletes the wireless charger, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, ventilated front seats, panoramic roof, auto air refresh, and spare tire (the features are available on higher trims) BlueCruise 1.5 with automatic lane changes and passing while maintaining speed Automatic power liftgate now opens upon approach The standard four-year Connectivity package now includes a four-year Wi-Fi hotspot subscription What We Think The 2026 Lincoln Aviator is proof that the American luxury automaker's efforts to reinvent itself have been paying off. The three-row SUV'sstandard twin-turbo V-6 engine delivers swift, smooth acceleration and its suspension tuning matches the powertrain's sumptuous character. Although Lincoln doesn't equip the Aviator with the cool 48-inch display found in every Nautilus, its interior is still gorgeous, with a cabin layout and materials that soothe the senses. First and second rows are spacious and plush, but that goodness doesn't extend to the third row, which has lower-grade materials. The back seats are easy to access, but legroom is cramped. The Aviator is superbly well-equipped at any trim level, but we've criticized the SUV's expensive trim structure. Lincoln attempts to solve this issue by offering an option package that removes content for a discount. We're not sure if we'd want this striking SUV with fewer features, but more consumer choice is never a bad thing for shoppers. No matter how it's equipped, the Aviator comes standard with Lincoln's excellent BlueCruise hands-free driving technology, now updated with automatic lane changing and overtaking functionality. While some automakers try to split the difference between sportiness and luxurious comfort, Lincoln has doubled down on simply making its vehicles feel upscale. The Aviator is proof that Lincoln's strategy is paying off. Top-Ranked Competitors: Buick Enclave Volvo XC90 Audi Q7 Lexus TX MotorTrend Tested The 2026 Lincoln Aviator is exclusively offered with a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine developing 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. All models receive a 10-speed automatic transmission, but customers have the choice of standard RWD or available AWD. In our testing, the 2025 Lincoln Aviator accelerated from 0–60 mph in 5.6 seconds. That nearly matches Audi's claim of 5.5 seconds for the 2025 Q7 and beats the 2025 Lexus TX500h's time of 6.1 seconds. MPGs and Range Based on 2025 EPA figures, we expect RWD Aviator models will continue to return 18/25 mpg city/highway with 424 miles of range. AWD variants should continue to be rated at 17/25 mpg with 404 miles of range. The Audi Q7 55 is good for 18/23 mpg and 450 miles of range while the Acura MDX Type S is rated at 17/21 mpg and 352 miles of range. Safety Ratings and Features IIHS awards the Lincoln Aviator top-level Good scores in every crash test category evaluated, and well as for the Aviator's pedestrian front crash prevention system. NHTSA gives five stars overall for both RWD and AWD variants. Lincoln's BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free driving technology is now included on all Aviator models. As part of its 2026 update, the Aviator gains the ability to make automatic lane changes while maintaining speed to make passes. Every 2026 Aviator also comes with the Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 2.1 suite, a collection that includes the following driver assist and active safety features: Rear automatic emergency braking Rear cross-traffic alert Blind-spot monitoring Evasive steering assist Lane-keeping assist Adaptive cruise control Cargo Space and Interior Room The 2026 Lincoln Aviator offers more cargo volume than the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7. Its second row is notable for its spaciousness. Third-row legroom is scarce, though the rear seats are easy to access. The 2026 Buick Enclave is worth checking out if max space is a priority. Technology Infotainment The Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment user interface carries over for the 2026 model year. Displayed on a 13.2-inch touchscreen, the Aviator's infotainment tech includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and also leverages Google Assistant for interpretive voice commands. When the 2026 Lincoln Aviator is parked, you can browse the web and stream videos. While the vehicle is in motion, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster displays relevant information, supplemented by an available head-up display. A 5.8-inch touchscreen control panel for the second row is included on the Reserve trim and higher. Eight USB ports are distributed over the Aviator's three rows. A wireless charger is standard, though buyers who choose the decontented Premiere 100A Entry Series option lose this handy feature. Phone-as-key functionality is standard as of the 2025 model year. Sound System Entry-level Premiere models are equipped with a 10-speaker sound system. Stepping up to the Reserve trim introduces a 14-speaker setup from Revel. The ultimate 28-speaker arrangement from Revel is optional on the Aviator Reserve and standard on the top-end Black Label model. Lincoln Digital Experience Lincoln's infotainment goes beyond traditional capabilities with the Google Play store, which allows downloading a variety of apps including Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio. The available Vivaldi Browser app allows you to surf the web, and Google Chrome with Bluetooth keyboard connectivity is coming soon, allowing you to work online while the vehicle is stopped. All these internet-reliant features are accessed through a standard 5G Wi-Fi hotspot. The Aviator can always be online, so it benefits from over-the-air update capability. Value Standard Features The 2026 Lincoln Aviator's base trim goes by Premiere, and it earns its fancy-sounding name with a long list of standard equipment, including 20-inch wheels and full LED exterior lighting. Quad exhaust tips with a chrome finish nod to the twin-turbo V-6 engine's 400-hp output. For 2026, the power liftgate now opens automatically as you approach the Aviator's rear. Inside the cabin, Lincoln keeps the premium theme going with a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel with power tilting and telescoping functionality, three-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front-row seats with power adjustability, and heated second-row outboard seats. Tech includes a 13.2-inch touchscreen, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, 10-speaker audio, and eight USB ports. A wide array of driver aids is standard. All models receive a 360 camera, the Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.1 suite of assistance features, and BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free driving. Recommended Trim Lincoln continues to offer the 2026 Aviator at three trim levels: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label. For 2025, Premiere-trim models started at around $60,000, and we think the Premiere grade continue to be the sweet spot in the lineup. As we've outlined above, that model comes superbly well-equipped and goes beyond the basics of what we expect from a three-row luxury SUV. Black Label: The Most Upscale Aviator If you're going to spend more on a 2026 Lincoln Aviator, we suggest skipping the midlevel Reserve model and going all out on the Black Label trim. The top-shelf Aviator Black Label comes equipped with standard all-wheel drive, striking 22-inch wheels, and soft-close doors. The cabin gets Lincoln's best seats, which are adjustable to an almost unfathomable degree and are equipped with massaging functionality. Not only is the Black Label trim offered with distinctive interior colors and materials, it also receives an awesome 28-speaker audio system from Revel. The pricing of luxury vehicles is often based more heavily on emotional appeal than material value, but we see the sense in stepping up to the Black Label, with an estimated starting price of about $90,000.

2026 Lincoln Aviator Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview Positioned just below the full-size Navigator in the Lincoln lineup, the 2026 Aviator three-row SUV offers a modern take on the brand's luxury legacy. The suspension tune hews to the comfort side of the equation, the contemporary interior is plush, and the 400-hp turbo V-6 engine has more than enough oomph to hustle in town or on the highway. Though all Aviators exude an upscale vibe, the Black Label model aims even higher with premium materials and bespoke design choices, and elevated buyer perks including enhanced complimentary maintenance. Though the Aviator may not carry the same curbside swagger as some European rivals, it delivers similar levels of luxury through a distinctly American lens. What's New for 2026? 2026 updates include hands-free open-on-approach functionality for the power liftgate and automatic lane change capability for the Blue Cruise 1.5–equipped models. The connectivity package now includes four years of Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity as standard. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator is expected to start around $61,000 and go up to $90,000 depending on the trim and options. Premiere $61,000 (est) Reserve $69,000 (est) Black Label $90,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k $150k The mid-level Reserve trim is the sweet spot in the lineup, providing all the luxury most buyers need and want without breaking the bank. Standard equipment on the Reserve trim includes four-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera system, a panoramic sunroof, and a 14-speaker sound system. Rear-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available but costs extra. Look for the 2026 Lincoln Navigator to hit showrooms in the fall of 2025. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Lincoln Aviator's 400-hp twin-turbo V-6 is among the most powerful standard engines in the mid-size luxury SUV segment. The refined 3.0-liter V-6 works with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver both serene cruising and authoritative acceleration. The Aviator's ride on the standard suspension is plush, agreeable, and likely exactly what modern Lincoln buyers are expecting. There's little driver gratification, but the Aviator is stable through corners and is relatively well-isolated from road imperfections. An optional Dynamic Handling package adds an adaptive suspension system, air springs, and variable-assist steering, but after sampling both setups, we feel its benefits are negligible. 0–60-MPH Times When we tested a rear-wheel-drive Aviator Reserve at our test track, it whooshed to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds; with all-wheel drive, an Aviator Black Label hit 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. Several rivals are quicker still, and we recorded better times in the Audi Q7, the Genesis GV80 3.5T, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE450. View Exterior Photos Lincoln Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Aviator yet, but the 2025 rear-wheel-drive model earned ratings of 18 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, with the all-wheel-drive model delivering 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Those numbers place the Aviator's fuel economy behind that of all-wheel-drive competitors such as the BMW X5 xDrive40i and the Volvo XC90 B5. The rear-wheel-drive Aviator Reserve managed a paltry 22 mpg on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route. For more information about the Aviator's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo The Aviator is available in six- or seven-seat configurations. Buyers who opt for second-row captain's chairs will have a choice of two different center consoles between those seats, one of which allows for easier pass-through to the third row. On trips longer than a few minutes, the back row is suitable only for small children, but that compromise means there's more room for cargo with all seats in their upright position. The Lincoln offers 18 cubic feet of storage space, more than the Cadillac XT6 provides. Up front, the optional Perfect Position seats offer 30-way adjustability and massaging capability. If you're willing to spend extra for it, a camera behind the windshield scans the road for potholes and other imperfections and sends instructions to the adaptive dampers to improve ride quality. View Interior Photos Lincoln Infotainment and Connectivity A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability are all standard on the Lincoln Aviator. Compared with other manufacturers that use rotary controllers or multiple touchscreens, Lincoln's single-screen configuration and traditional climate controls are easy to learn and use. On higher trims, a smartphone's Bluetooth signal can be used to unlock and start the Aviator in place of the key. The top-end Revel Ultima 3D audio system has 28 speakers (including some in the headliner). The standard four-year Connectivity package now includes Wi-Fi hotspot functionality. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The Aviator's standard Co-Pilot360 system of driver-assistance technologies includes forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera. The optional Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus adds adaptive cruise control, automatic lane changes, traffic sign recognition, and a self-parking system that will steer the vehicle into both parallel and perpendicular spots. For more information about the Aviator's crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking Standard blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assistance Available adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature Warranty and Maintenance Coverage With powertrain coverage that extends beyond its four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, the Aviator offers a better warranty than most of its competitors. Buyers who spring for the full-zoot Black Label trim also receive complimentary scheduled maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles. Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers six years or 70,000 miles Complimentary maintenance is covered for four years or 50,000 miles on Black Label models Specifications Specifications 2020 Lincoln Aviator Reserve VEHICLE TYPE front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 7-passenger, 4-door wagon PRICE AS TESTED $65,710 (base price: $57,285) ENGINE TYPE twin-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 24-valve V-6, aluminum block and heads, direct fuel injection Displacement 180 in3, 2956 cm3 Power 400 hp @ 5500 rpm Torque 415 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm TRANSMISSION 10-speed automatic CHASSIS Suspension (F/R): struts/multilink Brakes (F/R): 13.6-in vented disc/13.8-in vented disc Tires: Michelin Primacy A/S, 255/55R-20 110V M+S DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 119.1 in Length: 199.3 in Width: 79.6 in Height: 69.6 in Passenger volume: 143 ft3 Cargo volume: 18 ft3 Curb weight: 4932 lb C/D TEST RESULTS Rollout, 1 ft: 0.3 sec 60 mph: 5.4 sec 100 mph: 13.8 sec 140 mph: 34.5 sec Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 6.0 sec Top gear, 30–50 mph: 3.2 sec Top gear, 50–70 mph: 3.8 sec ¼-mile: 14.0 sec @ 101 mph Top speed (C/D est): 145 mph Braking, 70–0 mph: 162 ft Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.85 g C/D FUEL ECONOMY Observed: 18 mpg 75-mph highway driving: 22 mpg Highway range: 440 miles EPA FUEL ECONOMY Combined/city/highway: 21/18/26 mpg C/D TESTING EXPLAINED More Features and Specs

Other Features: 4.6/5 SpinFever's VIP program is genuinely impressive, with transparent requirements and meaningful rewards. Players receive Mystery Prizes at each tier and can earn up to 15% cashback capped at €5,000.
