2020–2025 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator: Seats recall
NHTSA campaign 25V393000 · 305K units potentially affected · filed Jun 13, 2025
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Aviator, and Explorer vehicles. The switch for the easy-entry second-row outer seats may bind or stick, resulting in the seats unlatching, folding, or sliding unexpectedly while driving.
Why it matters
A seat that moves unexpectedly may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the second-row seat switch, and replace the bezel around the switch as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 7, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S67.
