Back over prevention: sensing system: camera

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC, Mustang, F-350 SD, F-250 SD, F-450 SD, 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, 2015-2018 Edge, Transit Connect, 2016-2019 F-550 SD, Transit, 2017-2019 Econoline, and 2019 Ranger vehicles. The rearview camera may display a distorted, inverted, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.

A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V544000 2025-08-22
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The rear brake jounce hose may rupture and leak brake fluid.

A brake fluid leak can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

22V413000 2022-06-10
Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.

20V469000 2020-08-10
Service brakes

Road salt or other contaminants may corrode the electric power steering gear motor attachment bolts.

If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist, requiring a greater steering effort, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.

RIGHT REAR CHILD LOCK FAILED. MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND ONCE HE OPENED IT THE DOOR BECAME JAMMED AND WOULD NO LONGER CLOSE. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED. VERY UPSET ABOUT INCIDENT BECAUSE IF MY SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER AND AN OLDER CHILD WOULD HAVE OPENED IT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURIES.

THE CAR LEAKS WATER WHEN IT RAINS. THERE WERE PUDDLES OF WATER ON THE FLOOR... THE COMPLETE CRUMPLE ZONE WAS FILLED WITH WATER PUSHING UP THROUGH THE PADDING AND CARPET.
