This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
By vehicles covered, this is one of the largest campaigns on the American register we hold.

What the notice says today
The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, 2021-2024 Edge, 2022-2025 Escape, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2022-2024 Navigator, and 2023-2024 Corsair vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.
The consequence
A frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
The accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, free of charge. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on June 26, 2025. Additional letters will be mailed once the final remedy is available on each phase. Owner notification letters were sent on October 8, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S49.
What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 15 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to bcc03df4867915f106ebec755809cc83…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 246 notices in the record whose component field names back over prevention. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 48 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.
The same recall in other countries
This campaign carries a manufacturer code that also appears in another country’s register, which means the same defect was recalled there too.
- Canada: Transport Canada recall 2025260, recorded 9 May 2025 (within a week of the American filing)
Matched on 25S49, the manufacturer’s own number for this campaign, which is the only field the registers share. Exact match, nothing paired on brand and date. The two dates are adjacent instruments rather than the same one, so a difference of a day or two means nothing.
