The NHTSA said in the notice that:

C-pillar trim appliques and window division bars may detach from the vehicle’s rear side doors while driving.  The components may detach due to inadequate application pressure of the components during assembly at the supplier facility that results in insufficient adhesive retention.

Owners of the Aviator models may also visually inspect the C pillar trim for any separation between component and the vehicle.
