20 Ford And Lincoln Models Hit With 2025's Favorite Recall

The Most Common Recall Of Recent Months Strikes Again

It’s happened again, and by ‘it’ we actually mean two things. First, Ford has another recall to add to a fast-growing list of them in 2025. Secondly, the recall concerns the same issue that’s been striking brands from all over the world: a backup camera image that may not display – something almost 1.1 million Ford vehicles were recalled for a month ago. According to the recall documents lodged with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue potentially affects 200,061 vehicles, and what makes it more difficult for Ford to deal with is that it affects small numbers of some 20 different models, including some under the Lincoln banner.

A Wide Spread Of Affected Models

This is an issue with severe possible consequences, particularly as rearview cameras have become an obligatory part of every automaker’s vehicle production process (for anything that weighs under 10,000 pounds) since 2018, and their widespread, longtime use has made many drivers reliant on the technology. Nonetheless, some responsibility, at least after owner notification letters go out at the end of the month (July 28), will lie on drivers.

As a society that thoroughly enjoys upgrading, our roads are being filled by larger vehicles every year, but the bigger they get, the more difficult they become to maneuver and, more worryingly, the riskier they are to human life, say various studies on the subject.

How Ford Will Remedy The Issue

The affected vehicles have SYNC 3.2 R10 RC1 infotainment software, so as you might have guessed, this is little more than a glitch. That means a simple update from the dealer will resolve the issue, but it also means that the affected vehicles were not produced in VIN order, so Ford service departments will be busy for some time.
