Ford Motor Company is recalling over 100,000 of certain Lincoln Aviator vehicles due to an issue with the rearview camera.

In the recall notice posted May 24, Ford says the accessory protocol image module (APIM) can be affected by electromagnetic interference with a cellphone in the vehicle, which can cause the rearview camera image to flicker or become distorted and can increase the risk of crash.

In all, 109,283 Lincoln Aviator vehicles from model years 2020-2024 are affected by the recall.

Ford says owners are not advised to use their cellphones while reversing until the remedy is completed. Dealers will install shielding on the APIM, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 8.
