Some Lincoln Aviator models experience poor radio reception due to electromagnetic interference. The recommended solution involves installing ground straps on the rear knuckle to mitigate static and enhance audio clarity.

Aviator Static

Some 2020-2024 Lincoln Aviator non-hybrid vehicles may exhibit radio static and/or poor radio sound quality when moving. This may be due to an electromagnetic interference concern.  Install new ground straps on each side of the vehicle on top of the brake hose bracket bolt on the rear knuckle. Tighten to 133 in-lb (15 Nm). Install the other end of the jumper harness underneath the rear wheel speed sensor harness bracket mounting stud and tighten to 62 in-lb (7 Nm).
