Problem overview

Some Lincoln Aviator owners report experiencing issues with adaptive steering, including intermittent Adaptive Steering Fault messages appearing in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and misalignment of the steering wheel from the straight ahead position. This problem has been particularly noted in some 2020 Aviator vehicles equipped with adaptive steering, and it has been linked to software issues within the steering effort control module. To resolve the steering wheel misalignment and the adaptive steering fault, owners may need to wait for the replacement of the steering control module.
