In a year of huge Ford recalls, this latest rear camera issue affects enough models to stand out. Customer complaints lead the Ford Motor Company to believe its rearview camera could glitch out, displaying a blank screen while you back up, or a frozen screen even after you put the vehicle back in drive. Here are the makes and models affected:

2018-20 Ford Transit Connect vans
2020-23 Ford Transit vans
2019-20 Ford Edge SUVs
2019-20 Ford Fusion sedans
2019-20 Ford F-150 pickup trucks
2019-23 Ford Mustang cars
2019-23 Ford Ranger pickups
2020-21 Ford EcoSport crossover
2020-21 Ford Expedition SUVs
2020-22 Ford Escape SUVs
2020-22 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup trucks
2020-24 Ford Explorer SUVs
2021-24 Ford Bronco Sport crossovers
2022-24 Ford Maverick pickups
2019-20 Lincoln MKZ sedans
2019-20 Lincoln Continental sedans
2019-20 Lincoln Nautilus SUVs
2020-21 Lincoln Navigator SUVs
2020-22 Lincoln Corsair SUVs
2020-23 Lincoln Aviator SUVs

Is Ford’s backup camera issue a repeat recall?

Ford’s recall 25S72 has now expanded to affect 200,061 individual vehicles. It may seem awfully familiar to anyone paying attention to Ford’s recalls. That’s because some of these models have been affected by a backup camera hardware issue. But recall 25S72 is an all-new software problem.

In March 2025, I reported that Ford had recalled almost 5,000 2025 Escape SUVs for a backup camera issue. These vehicles were displaying their backup camera video upside-down, thanks to a printed circuit board designed for a different vehicle.

Then in April 2025, I reported that Ford was recalling 160,000 more trucks and SUVs for a problem with rearview camera hardware. The recall was for multiple 2015 makes and models which had been optioned with one of the first rearview cameras Ford offered.

This latest recall also affects nearly every year Ford has offered rearview cameras. It would seem there’s a problem with the software it’s been using all along. But the good news is that Ford is confident its dealerships can simply update this software and the problem will go away.

Curious if your Ford has any open recalls? You can call your local dealership with your VIN handy or punch the number in at NHTSA.gov.
