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.
Ford is recalling a range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Fiesta, Flex, Explorer, Escape, C-Max, Fusion, Taurus, Mustang and the Lincoln MKT and MKZ. On these vehicles, the camera that shows what is behind you when you shift into reverse may show a picture that is distorted, that cuts in and out, or that is blank. Ford says dealers will check the camera and replace it if needed.
Some Ford Flex, Ford Fiesta, and Lincoln MKT vehicles have a rearview camera that may sometimes show a blank or distorted picture instead of a clear view behind the vehicle. Ford has already sent owners an interim letter about this issue. Dealers will replace the rearview camera, and a second letter will be sent to owners once the final fix is available. This work will not cost owners anything.
Some Fiesta vehicles have brake calipers that may have been built with the wrong assembly fluid. This wrong fluid can cause the rubber seals inside the caliper to swell. When the seals swell, the brakes can start to drag, and dragging brakes can overheat.
Complaints owners have filed with NHTSA about the Ford Fiesta. These are unverified reports; better-selling years collect more.
