Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 109,283 Lincoln Aviator vehicles from the model years 2020 through 2024. The accessory protocol image module (APIM) in these vehicles is susceptible to electromagnetic interference from cell phones being used inside the car, which can cause the rearview camera image to flicker or become distorted while reversing. Owners can receive a free installation of shielding on the affected module at Lincoln or Ford dealerships to resolve the issue.
A flickering or distorted rearview camera image significantly reduces the driver's visibility of the area behind the vehicle. This loss of visual information while backing up increases the risk of striking a pedestrian or object, potentially leading to a crash.
You have 2 options:
Install shielding on the accessory protocol image module (APIM).
Safety advisory regarding cell phone use while reversing.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
