Ford has failed to remedy the safety recall campaign 25SA9/25v695 for my vehicle in a timely manner. A rear view camera that displays a blank or distorted image while in reverse can reduce or distort the drivers view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Their own stated deadline has passed.

Incident: September 1, 2026 · Filed: October 7, 2026

In October 2025 a recall was announced concerning the rear view camera in my vehicle. A remedy date was provided to NHTSA by Ford with a date range ending July 3 2026. As of October 07 2026 my vin is still showing remedy not available. Just last month my rear view camera has started to malfunction and most of the time it either shows a black screen a blue screen or says contact dealer. Occasionally it will work normally. Manufacturer Recall Number25SA9 and NHTSA Recall Number25v695 specifically includes this issue for my vehicle yet Ford still has no remedy available for my vehicle.

Incident: September 12, 2026 · Filed: September 17, 2026

The rear-view camera on my 2016 Ford Taurus Limited intermittently malfunctions when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The displayed image flickers and sometimes appears upside down/inverted. The vehicle also sometimes produces inappropriate warning beeps while reversing. There were no warning lamps or messages before the problem began. The malfunction makes the rear-view image unreliable and creates a safety risk while backing because the displayed image may not accurately represent what is behind the vehicle. I cannot safely rely on the camera to identify pedestrians, vehicles, or other obstacles. The problem has occurred repeatedly but has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a Ford dealer or independent repair facility. The vehicle and rear-view camera are available for inspection upon request. I am aware that NHTSA Recall 25V695 / Ford Recall 25SA9 concerns rear-view camera failures in certain 2015-2016 Ford Taurus vehicles. My vehicle exhibits similar symptoms, including an intermittent and inverted rear-view camera image. I have contacted Ford regarding the issue, and they are saying my VIN is not included. Yet, the defect is the same as what is described in the recall. I have escalated my customer service case at Ford.

Incident: October 15, 2025 · Filed: August 10, 2026

I own a 2016 Ford Taurus Limited that is covered under Ford Safety Recall 25SA9 / NHTSA Recall 25V-695 for the rearview camera. I received the recall notification in October 2025 stating that a remedy was not yet available and that I would receive another notification once parts became available. Nearly 10 months later, I contacted my local Ford dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that they still do not have the required parts and that no nearby Ford dealerships have them available. I also contacted Ford’s customer service line, but the automated system simply states there are no updates available for this recall. My vehicle is experiencing the exact safety defect described in the recall. When I shift into reverse, the rearview camera no longer displays an image. Instead, the screen turns completely blue, leaving me without a functioning backup camera. This is no longer a potential safety concern—it is an active failure that affects the safe operation of my vehicle when backing up. I am extremely concerned that a federally recognized safety recall remains unrepaired even though my vehicle is now exhibiting the recalled defect. Despite my efforts to have the vehicle repaired, Ford has been unable to provide the necessary parts or any estimated timeline for when the repair will be available. I respectfully request that NHTSA review Ford’s continued inability to provide a remedy for Recall 25SA9 / NHTSA 25V-695 and investigate the prolonged delay in making repair parts available to owners whose vehicles are already experiencing this safety-related failure. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
