1. System / Component Failed: The rearview camera system displays a blank, distorted, or black screen while the vehicle is in reverse, completely eliminating rearward visibility. 2. Safety Risk: The loss of backup camera functionality directly impairs critical rearward visibility while reversing, significantly increasing the risk of a backover crash, striking pedestrians, or colliding with obstacles. 3. Manufacturer & Dealer Confirmation: This vehicle is affected by Ford Safety Recall Campaign 25SA9 (the federal safety agency Campaign 25V695). Local Ford dealership service departments and Ford Corporate have been contacted, and both confirm that no remedy or repair parts are available to perform the recall service. 4. Failure Details & Unreasonable Recall Delay: The safety defect is active and reproducible every time the vehicle is placed in reverse. Although this recall was issued nearly one full year ago (October 2025), the manufacturer has failed to supply replacement parts or provide a timely remedy under federal recall standards. The safety feature remains entirely inoperative without a resolution date or estimate provided by the manufacturer.
