BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015 Transit Connect vehicles that were previously remedied under NHTSA recall number 25V572. The rearview camera may display a distorted, inverted, intermittent, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, intermittent, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, are expected to be mailed in October 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2027. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S73. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 7, 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 506 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,880 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2015, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 46 times before this, most recently in September 2026 as 26V605000. 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 66 complaints with NHTSA, 66 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 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 2016, 10 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V572000 (back over prevention), 23V502000 (latches/locks/linkages), 22V413000 (power train), 21V376000 (power train).
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 October 6, 2026 as campaign 26V650000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
