BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Transit vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 22V183. The rearview camera supplied in the Rear Video Camera and Prep Kit may not function when installed by the final stage manufacturer (upfitter), resulting in a blank rearview image.
- What it can cause
- A camera that does not display a rearview image while reversing can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the audio control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 5, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S68. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 16, 2026.
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 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 37 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V695000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, 26 of them before this campaign was filed. 11 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 October 2022, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V442000 (back over prevention), 25V339000 (electrical system), 25V315000 (back over prevention).
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.
