2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid: backup camera failure

Filed Oct 19, 2026 · FL

The recall states "the rear view camera could display a blank or distorted image on the center display screen when the vehicle is in reverse." So far this has not happened. My complaint is that in a year's time Lincoln has failed to contact me as the vehicle's owner to resolve this recall.

Received Safety Recall Notice the federal safety agency 25V695 in October 2025. Lincoln has not been diligent in providing a timely remedy for replacing the rear view camera in my vehicle. Rear view cameras are not an item that should take 10 months to replace with a new component. the federal safety agency shouldn't allow car manufacturers to issue Safety related recalls that are not rectified with 120 days. An excuse of "parts are not available" is not acceptable when Lincoln is building new cars with this new rear view camera every day.

Some times the rear back-up camera dash board display will turn off while maneuvering in reverse. Sometimes it will turn off to answer the phone, while the car is moving in reverse. And other times it will flicker then return to the home page. The dealer says its working normally and they can't duplicate the problem. However its happened at least a half dozen times since I've owned the car, in the past 2 yrs. The problem seems to happen when the car is moving in reverse usually when backing out of a parking space with parked cars on either side of me. The car has a sony information center and back-up camera and cross traffic alert and speed sensing radar. Other then that the car drives impeccably.

Vehicle was parked in a parking space at a major store chain location almost level with a slight slope to the rear of the car. Car was in park upon starting engine, then pressed the reverse button, took foot off the brake, and the car drives forward instead of reverse. Then immediately stepped on the brake. Repressed and verified that the reverse button was lighted, the back up camera was appearing on the screen, and the r indicator near the speedometer was highlighted. Then removed foot from brake pedal and slowly pressed on the accelerator and once again the car moved forward and made a loud banging sound and the car jerked like it had struck something. Immediately stepped on the brake, put car into park and turned it off, got out to check front area to see if it had struck an object. No object had been struck, so it appears the loud banging sound and jerking motion may have been caused by the transmission? Got back into the car restarted the engine, pressed the reverse button, this time the car moved backwards as it should. Drove straight home and let car sit until next day when I took car to the lincoln dealership service dept who kept the car for 5 days and said they could not find anything wrong with the car. I am concerned this could be a major safety issue?
