My vehicle has been having at issue with the reverse camera since the begining of last year. It started as being distorted to fully not turning on at all when in reverse. I noticed there is a recall for the same issues im having with my reverse camera but it begins with model year 2015. My vehicle is a 2014 ford explorer. I had many incidents of almost hitting pedestrians when im in reverse to making inpact with other vehicles behind me. Can this recall be reviewed and add additional model years as this has become a safety issue for me and my family. Thank you.

My uncle has a 2015 Ford Explorer and he received recall 25V695 for the rear camera issues blurry/ wavy and going completely black and not being useful. Almost have backed into a few things when it goes out in the middle of reverse. I believe this is a huge safety concern and my vehicle should be added to the list of affected. Not that they are going to do anything, I took mine in a year ago for the A=pillar trim flying off and they said they still don't have parts that I could either just park it or take the trim off and drive around that way. smh. Can you please help so I can feel more safe when I back up?
