Lincoln AVIATOR in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Lincoln AVIATOR is named on 35 American notices and 2 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The Israeli register

A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, both Daytime Running Lights will deactivate when either the right or left turn signal is activated. Correction: Dealer will replace the existing Aviator DRL (Daytime Running Light) module with the Explorer DRL module and rework appropriate wire harnesses. This will change the DRL system from a reduced voltage hi-beam lamp system to a fog lamp DRL system.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Lincoln Aviator, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Lincoln: 288 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
