2023 Lincoln Aviator

Ford is recalling 109,000-plus Lincoln Aviators for defective rearview cameras.

IIHS announced that three model-year 2023 and 2024 mid-size luxury SUVs offer good crash protection for front and backseat occupants in the agency’s updated moderate overlap front crash test, but several others scored acceptable, marginal and poor.

For the third time this year, Ford has issued a major recall over the failure of a critical safety component: the legally mandated backup camera.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

The video output may fail in model-year 2020-23 Explorers and Aviators and model-year 2020-22 Corsairs equipped with 360-degree camera systems.

Some 101,000 Lincoln Aviator and Corsair SUVs are being recalled over a seat belt warning malfunction that stems from the audio system.
