This may be due to tire flat spotting caused by vehicles being held at the Chicago Assembly Plant awaiting 360-degree camera repairs. Tire flat spotting on these vehicles may be a temporary concern that is resolved, with no repairs required, after the customer drives a minimum of 200 miles (320 km). Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 204-4A if diagnosis or repair is required after the vehicle has been driven this minimal distance.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10244849-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10244849-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10244849","components":[{"id":"wheels","name":"Wheels","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2023,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2023_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2023,"year_to":2023,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2023_lincoln_aviator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
