Ford has failed to remedy the safety recall campaign 25SA9/25v695 for my vehicle in a timely manner. A rear view camera that displays a blank or distorted image while in reverse can reduce or distort the drivers view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Their own stated deadline has passed.

In October 2025 a recall was announced concerning the rear view camera in my vehicle. A remedy date was provided to the federal safety agency by Ford with a date range ending July 3 2026. As of October 07 2026 my vin is still showing remedy not available. Just last month my rear view camera has started to malfunction and most of the time it either shows a black screen a blue screen or says contact dealer. Occasionally it will work normally. Manufacturer Recall Number25SA9 and the federal safety agency Recall Number25v695 specifically includes this issue for my vehicle yet Ford still has no remedy available for my vehicle.

I own a 2016 Ford Taurus Limited that is covered under Ford Safety Recall 25SA9 / the federal safety agency Recall 25V‑695 for the rearview camera. I received the recall notification in October 2025 stating that a remedy was not yet available and that I would receive another notification once parts became available. Nearly 10 months later, I contacted my local Ford dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that they still do not have the required parts and that no nearby Ford dealerships have them available. I also contacted Ford’s customer service line, but the automated system simply states there are no updates available for this recall. My vehicle is experiencing the exact safety defect described in the recall. When I shift into reverse, the rearview camera no longer displays an image. Instead, the screen turns completely blue, leaving me without a functioning backup camera. This is no longer a potential safety concern—it is an active failure that affects the safe operation of my vehicle when backing up. I am extremely concerned that a federally recognized safety recall remains unrepaired even though my vehicle is now exhibiting the recalled defect. Despite my efforts to have the vehicle repaired, Ford has been unable to provide the necessary parts or any estimated timeline for when the repair will be available. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency review Ford’s continued inability to provide a remedy for Recall 25SA9 / the federal safety agency 25V‑695 and investigate the prolonged delay in making repair parts available to owners whose vehicles are already experiencing this safety-related failure. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My backup camera rarely works and sometimes is upside down. It cuts in and out while backing up. There is a recall from Oct 2025 but still no fix.
