Ford is recalling certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Explorer, Escape, F-150, Expedition, Ranger, Mustang, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit and the Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, Navigator and Nautilus. A software problem can make the rearview camera show a blank picture when the vehicle is backing up. The picture can also stay on the screen after the driver has finished backing up. Dealers will update the rearview camera software at no cost. Letters were mailed to owners in September 2025.
Reported Aug 26, 2022 · Campaign 22V644000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020
Ford is recalling certain Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks and Lincoln Continental cars that have the 360-degree camera system. The anti-reflective coating on the camera lens can break down, and when that happens the rearview camera picture can look foggy or cloudy instead of clear. Ford says dealers will replace the rearview camera at no cost to the owner.
Reported Feb 11, 2019 · Campaign 19V077000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Continental vehicles because the motors in the door latches may not work properly. When a latch motor fails, the door latch may not fully engage, meaning the door is not securely closed even though it looks shut.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

How do I check whether my Lincoln Continental has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Lincoln dealer, including for second owners.
