3 recalls covering model years 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The backup camera on these vehicles may show a picture that is warped, flickers in and out, or goes completely blank when you shift into reverse. Without a clear view behind you, it's easier to miss a child, a pet, or an object while backing up. Dealers will inspect the camera and replace it if needed, free of charge. Ford is doing this in phases by model and year, so the parts may not be ready for your vehicle yet.
When you shift into reverse, the picture from the camera at the back of your vehicle may go blank or come out scrambled. It does not happen every time, so it can look fine one day and fail the next. Ford says the camera itself is the problem and dealers will replace it. Ford mailed an early warning letter in January 2025, but the actual parts and fix are not ready yet. A second letter will come when the repair is available, expected March 2027.
Some 2019 Fiestas were built with the wrong fluid used when the brake calipers were assembled. That fluid can make the rubber seals inside the calipers swell up. Swollen seals can keep the brakes partly pressed against the wheels even when your foot is off the pedal, so the brakes rub constantly and get very hot. Overheated brakes can fade and may not slow the car the way you expect.
