Ford Recalls 1.45 Million U.S. Vehicles Over Rearview Camera Failures

Owners will receive letters this month outlining free dealer service to inspect or replace cameras.

Overview

  • The recall covers select 2015–2020 Ford Explorer, Escape, Mustang, Flex, Fiesta, C‑Max, Taurus and Fusion models, plus Lincoln MKZ and MKT.
  • Regulators say faulty cameras can display distorted, intermittent or blank images in reverse, increasing crash risk.
  • Owner notifications are being mailed in October under NHTSA campaign 25V695 (Ford 25SA9), with inspections and replacements provided at no charge.
  • This action fits into a broader FordNHTSA effort addressing 2015–2025 analog camera vehicles, including a 15‑year extended‑warranty customer program for additional models.
  • Ford told NHTSA it has logged about 12,500 warranty claims and five crashes linked to the issue, with no injuries reported.
