The rearview camera may display a distorted, inverted, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

- Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 13, 2026. Ford owners will receive letters in phases, beginning January 2026 and June 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S89. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 25V270. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 8, 2025.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,456,417 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 99% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 10 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 33 times before this, most recently in June 2025 as 25V442000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 39 of the 51 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 12,303 complaints with NHTSA, 10,821 of them before this campaign was filed. 591 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2014, 10 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 40 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V372000 (electrical system), 26V011000 (equipment), 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V685000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on September 4, 2025 as campaign 25V572000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
