  20. Filed Aug 3, 2026Failure Nov 25, 2025Clarkston, MIUnknown or other

    My 2019 Ford Flex is experiencing a complete factory rearview backup camera failure. When I place the vehicle into reverse, the center display screen regularly goes completely blank/black or blue or severe image distortion or black with warning "camera is unavailable". This is now happening almost every time I drive the vehicle and started about eight months ago but is now getting more frequent. This failure eliminates my rearward line of sight, creating an immediate back-over crash risk and a severe pedestrian safety hazard. This vehicle is part of the model pool affected by the Ford Safety Recall 24S75 (NHTSA Campaign 24V951000) and the expanded 25SB8 camera recall. I am filing this to document the active failure of this safety component on my specific VIN [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
