## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2023 Lincoln Aviator and  Lincoln Corsair vehicles equipped with a Revel Audio System that were repaired incorrectly under recall 22V\-953. When the driver's seat belt is not buckled and the vehicle is started, the seat belt warning system may activate the audible warning chime for an insufficient amount of time of less than 4 seconds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

An audible warning chime that does not properly alert of an unbelted seat belt can increase the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C18.
