## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2018\-2022 Transit Connect, 2019\-2020 MKZ, MKX,  Edge, Continental, F\-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019\-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020\-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020\-2022 Escape, F\-250 SD, Corsair, 2020\-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020\-2024 Explorer, 2021\-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022\-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.


## What can happen

A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.
