- 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.
What this recall means for you
A software error can cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or to keep showing the camera image after the vehicle has left reverse. A blank display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, and a lingering image can distract the driver. Either situation can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix is a rearview camera software update performed by an authorized Ford dealer at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. If you have questions, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and refer to recall number 25S72.
