## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with 3.0L gasoline engines.  The wire harness may not be secured properly, possibly contacting the air conditioning \(A/C\) compressor pulley, and resulting in damage to electrical wires, or the A/C compressor drive belt.


## What can happen

Damaged electrical wires may short\-circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the harness and A/C compressor belt for damage, replacing them as necessary, and install a tie strap to secure the wire harness, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 21S34.
