Official summary
Some 2020-2022 Aviator vehicles may exhibit an issue transitioning to night mode in low ambient light conditions. This may be due to accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software. Inform customers that engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition and will be released via an over the air (OTA) software update expected in July 2023. Software will update automatically if the vehicle is connected to LincolnWay. Monitor OASIS for additional information. Schedule a service appointment for customers that are not connected to LincolnWay once the repair becomes available.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
