SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Lincoln Aviator vehicles. The front-row driver and passenger seat power head restraint cushion may detach from the head restraint assembly when adjusted to the full forward position.
- What it can cause
- A detached head restraint cushion can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the front-row passenger and driver head restraints, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters to notify owners of the safety risk were mailed May 11, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed July 29, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S23.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 933 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Lincoln vehicles have been recalled over the seats 6 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V414000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 44 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 20 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V451000 (seats), 26V159000 (seat belts), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V117000 (visibility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on April 14, 2022 as campaign 22V247000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
