Affected Ford vehicles include the following vehicles and their model years:

- 2015-16 Taurus sedans, C-Max Hybrid hatchbacks, Escape SUVs
- 2015-19 Flex SUVs
- 2016 Fusion sedans

And affected Lincolns include the following:

The rearview camera in these vehicles may appear distorted or blank when the vehicle is in Reverse, decreasing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed before November; a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available, which Ford expects to be in June 2026. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 25SA9), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
