## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2025 Escape vehicles.  The rearview camera may incorrectly display an inverted image when the vehicle is in reverse.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."


## What can happen

An inverted rearview camera image will not accurately display what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed March 28, 2025.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 25C08.
