Engine Intake Valve Failure (2.7L/3.0L EcoBoost, Recall)
The engine intake valves on 2021-2022 Aviators with the 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine may break while driving, causing catastrophic engine failure and complete loss of drive power. This is the same valve material defect affecting the Explorer platform.
Ford issued recall 24S55. The dealer will perform an engine cycle test and replace the engine as necessary, free of charge. If you hear abnormal engine noise, knocking, or experience sudden power loss, stop driving immediately and have the vehicle towed.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallAir Suspension Failure and Fault Messages
2020-2023 Aviators equipped with the adaptive air suspension may develop air spring leaks, compressor failures, or ride height sensor malfunctions. Owners report 'Suspension Fault' and 'Drive Malfunction' messages on the dashboard, and the vehicle may sit unevenly or drop to the lowest height setting.
Ford issued a TSB for air suspension service on 2020-2023 Aviators. The dealer will diagnose using SUMA diagnostic trouble codes. Depending on the root cause, the air spring/strut, compressor, ride height sensor, or air lines may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $800 - $1,500 per air spring; $600 - $1,200 for compressor; $200 - $500 for sensorHigh-Voltage Battery Failure (3.0L PHEV, Recall)
Certain 2020-2022 Aviator Grand Touring PHEV models have a high-voltage battery with a manufacturing defect that may result in an internal short circuit and battery failure. This can cause loss of drive power and, in extreme cases, a fire risk.
Ford issued a recall to perform a Battery Energy Control Module diagnostic test and replace the high-voltage battery pack as necessary. Contact your dealer immediately. The repair is free of charge.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallLow-Pressure Fuel Pump Failure (Recall)
The low-pressure fuel pump on 2021-2023 Aviators may fail, causing the engine to stall while driving. Symptoms include rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, and sudden engine shutoff. The failure can occur without warning at any speed.
Ford issued recall 25S75 to replace the low-pressure fuel pump assembly. Contact your dealer to verify your VIN. Do not ignore rough idle or hesitation symptoms. The repair is free of charge.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallHarshness/Vibration at 25-50 MPH (AWD Hybrid)
2020-2023 Aviator AWD vehicles with the hybrid powertrain may experience harshness and vibration felt through the seat, steering wheel, and center console at speeds between 25-50 mph. The vibration is caused by the hybrid drive motor torque delivery.
Ford issued a TSB addressing the hybrid drivetrain vibration with a powertrain control module software recalibration. The dealer will update the PCM and hybrid control module calibration to smooth the electric motor torque delivery.
Est. Cost: $0 - $200 for software update
