## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2025449](/recalls/tc/2025449.md), 2025-09-03: Visual System. Issue: On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or at all when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Note: For certain models, this recall also affects incomplete vehicles.  Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview camera.
- [2021396](/recalls/tc/2021396.md), 2021-06-24: Visual System. Issue: On certain vans, the pivot points for the side mirrors could rust. If this happens, the mirrors could become loose or fall down. Note: This recall only affects vans equipped with short arm, manual fold, power\-adjustable outside rearview mirrors. The recall applies to vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland \& Labrador\).  Safety Risk: A side mirror that loosens or separates could reduce rear visibility and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the side mirrors.
- [2018216](/recalls/tc/2018216.md), 2018-04-27: Electrical. On certain vehicles equipped with a trailer lighting control module, or that had a trailer lighting control module installed as an aftermarket accessory, water may enter the module and connector, and could cause wiring corrosion and damage to the module. This could result in an electrical short to ground, which could cause an uncommanded seat belt pretensioner deployment, a burning smell and/or an increased risk of fire, even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. This may also cause turn signals to flash rapidly as well as cause a loss of the instrument cluster display, heater and air conditioning controls, and multimedia system \(radio, screens, SYNC\). An electrical short could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add a drainage hole to the driver’s door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle wiring harness. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 2017\-516.
