Backup camera is distorted, upside down, blue screen, or message displayed stating “Rearview camera not available”. I received the recall notice that was mailed October 2025. I have since contacted my local Ford dealership attempting to have this recall resolved, each time to be told that parts are not available yet, only for the Ford Mustang. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This is a safety concern, as not only do I work at an elementary school, but I also have young grandchildren under the age of 4. This camera issue started before the recall was even issued, and has gotten worse, occurring 97% of the time vehicle is on Reverse. It has been confirmed by the local dealership that the codes read do align with the recall notice. It has been over one year since the recall was issued, and the only available parts are for Ford Mustangs, which represent a small portion of affected vehicles. There are many more models affected, and a year is definitely NOT a timely manner. I even bought a new vehicle in March 2026 (NOT a Ford) as I am tired of waiting for this recall to be resolved. This situation is causing me to regret owning a Ford.

The other vehicle was damaged.

Recall 25V695 Rear backup camera is not working half of the time-totally black screen. Received recall notice in October 2025. Called Ford in October 2026 (a year later) and was told parts still not available and they had no idea when they would be available. This is unacceptable. I believe a year is adequate time to correct this issue. I would like to file a formal complaint.

My 2015 Ford Escape is subject to NHTSA Safety Recall 25V695/Ford Campaign 25SA9 concerning failure of the rearview camera. The recall was filed October 13, 2025. I have repeatedly attempted to obtain the recall repair through authorized Ford dealers in my area, but I continue to be told that the required part is unavailable. I contacted Ford today (10/21/26) asking for assistance in locating a dealer that can obtain the required part and complete the repair. I was once again told that a remedy is not available at this time. I am requesting assistance regarding Ford's inability to provide the recall remedy to replace the camera. Currently, my rearview camera only sporadically comes on, and when it does, the image is upside down.

A recall was issued on my 2015 Ford Escape's rearview camera. There wasn't a fix for it at the time and over a year later, there still isn't a fix. I have heard nothing new on when to expect it to be repaired. I was originally informed it would be June 2026. I live around a lot of young children and depend on my rearview camera to help me watch out for them. The problem has gotten to where my rearview camera very seldom works at all now. When can all of the Ford owners with this problem expect it to be fixed? Thank you.
