In November 2024, Ford agreed to pay $165 million to the government following failures associated with an earlier backup camera recall. That September 2020 Ford rearview camera recall involved more than 620,000 vehicles in the U.S.

Engineers are still trying to determine the root cause of the camera image failures, but the current hypothesis is the Magna cameras have internal problems.

Ford is aware of complaints about the backup cameras, but no crashes or injuries have been reported.

About 7,700 of the vehicles are recalled in Canada.

Ford backup camera recall letters are expected to be mailed February 17, 2025.

Ford is working on how dealers will repair the camera problems, but owners with questions or concerns may call Ford at 866-436-7332 and refer to backup camera recall number 25S05.
