I received this recall for my backup camera a couple years back and I tried to get it fixed because mine had stopped working so I went when I was off from work to avoid being carless. The Ford dealership in Yuma AZ didn't get the part in time after having my vehicle for a week. I was unable to complete the recall and when I called a couple months later to try to reschedule they told me the recall number had been closed. Therefore my vehicle could no longer be fixed. My rear backup hasn't worked since. Is there anyway to get this situated? I tried going within a reasonable timeframe from getting that letter but they later cancelled the recall somehow.

In March 2023 safety recall 22V082000 (Ford Number 22S06) was performed to fix a rear view camera malfunction. During the March 2023 work, only the wiring harness was replaced. My belief was that the actual camera should have been replaced as well. Replacing the wiring harness in March 2023 fixed the issue for 13 months, and then the issue re-occurred. Dealership charged $230 diagnosis fee to tell me that the issue was the camera and now the replacement of the camera cost me the $230 diagnostic fee; The $75 part fee for the camera; and the labor to replace the camera - Total bill out of pocket $530. I was informed after calling the Main Ford Customer service number that my 2016 mustang was not part of the camera recall (only the wiring harness). Camera was only covered with 2015 mustang. Seems odd to me that they make that distinction between model years but it is the same camera and obviously failed on my vehicle. As a major safety concern I believe Ford has failed to support their customers regarding this issue, and a second recall is warranted for the camera portion on 2016 models as well.

Dear Sir/Madam: I want to make you aware of the safety recall scam Ford is perpetuating in their rear camera recall. Recall #22S06/the federal safety agency Recall 22V082. I own a 2016 Ford Mustang which I purchased new in February 2016. I always had issues with my rear camera working intermittently. Finally on [XXX] (mileage 14933) I took it to the selling dealership and told them about the problem. At that time they said they could not "duplicate the problem". The car was under a 3 year 36,.000 mile warranty at the time. I first started seeing notices on the internet in 2020 that Ford was issuing a recall on rear cameras. I was very happy to hear this as my camera was still only working about 1/3 of the time. In March 2022 I got a letter from Ford notifying me of the recall. They stated parts were not available at that time but I would be recontacted to schedule a repair at no cost to me when parts were available. In January 2023 I received a letter that parts were now available. But a new element was introduced for the first time. It was no longer a rear camera recall, "but repair of the 1uggage compartment wiring harness". My selling dealer was not on the list of authorized dealers for the repair so I scheduled an appointment with another local dealer who was on the list. They examined my car and said that the wiring harness was OK, but that my rear camera needed to be replaced. They said it would cost $461 for the part and labor. My camera was still working about every third time I drove it. However, since their "inspection" the camera has not worked at all. At the time of the inspection they could not complete the recall because they had to order parts for the rear wiring harness as they were not in stock. I questioned the service writer as to why my camera no longer worked at all since they had "inspected it"? He did not know. Meanwhile the service writer at the dealership suggested I contact Ford directly for assistance with the cost of the camera replacement. I called the Ford Customer Relationship Center on [XXX] an
