## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2015\-2019 Flex, 2015 Explorer, Lincoln MKT,  Lincoln MKZ, 2015\-2016 C\-Max, Escape, Taurus, 2016 Fusion, 2018\-2019 Taurus, 2019 Lincoln MKT, Fiesta, and 2020 Mustang vehicles.  The rearview camera may display a distorted,  intermittent, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.


## What can happen

A rearview camera that fails to properly display an image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on October 25, 2025. Additional letters will be mailed once the final remedy is available on each phase. Mustang owner notification letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SA9.
