NHTSA campaign 25V159000 · 49K units potentially affected · filed Mar 14, 2025

What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V-342. The video output may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.

Why it matters

Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the Image Processing Module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 25, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S27.
