Ford Recalls Vehicles Due to Rearview Camera Display Issues

Ford is recalling specific 2015-2020 models because the rearview camera may display a distorted or blank image, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (rearview camera) where failure increases the risk of a crash, fitting the 'High' criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015-2020 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Flex, Explorer, C-Max, Escape, Taurus, Fusion, Fiesta, Mustang, MKT, and MKZ. The recall involves approximately 1.4 million vehicles where the rearview camera may display a distorted, intermittent, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.

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. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the defect presents a safety hazard during reversing maneuvers.

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. This is 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, with additional letters to follow as remedies become available. Mustang owner notification letters were mailed on January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
