What's wrong?
The inlet charge port harness on the 2022 Lincoln Aviator PHEV is the wiring assembly at the plug-in charging port. Its job is to route electrical power from the charge inlet into the plug-in hybrid system. Inside that harness, the bus bar is a metal conductor that needs to stay fully seated so current flows through the intended path.
On affected Aviator PHEV vehicles, the bus bar was not fully seated during supplier assembly. An uncertified operator did not follow the correct production process, and the harness left the supplier without that connection locked in place. While the vehicle is being operated, the bus bar can work loose and interrupt the system enough to cause a loss of drive power.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall report lists no owner-visible symptom before the bus bar comes loose, so loss of drive power can be the first sign.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lincoln technician inspects the inlet charge port harness date code label and replaces the harness if the inspection shows it is needed. The inspection, replacement harness, and labor are free under the recall. Ford provided its general reimbursement plan for owner-paid remedies completed before recall notification. If you already paid for this repair, bring receipts or repair invoices to the Lincoln service desk and ask how to submit the claim under that plan.
