I am submitting this complaint regarding an unrepaired safety recall on my 2016 Ford fusion, Ford recall 25sa9 / NHTSA recall 25v695, involving the rear-view camera. The recall concerns a condition where the rear-view camera may display a blank or distorted image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. This can reduce the driver's ability to see what is behind the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. The recall was issued in October 2025. I have been waiting for the recall remedy to become available, but Ford and the dealership have been unable to complete the repair because the necessary parts are not available. As of August 11, 2026, my vehicle's NHTSA recall status still states: "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. " this means that approximately 10 months after the recall was issued, I still do not have access to the recall repair for a known safety defect. I understand that parts shortages can occur; however, I am concerned that such a significant amount of time has passed without Ford providing a remedy. The recall information indicates that the remedy was expected to become available, yet my vehicle remains unrepaired. I am requesting that NHTSA review Ford's handling of this recall and determine: why the recall remedy remains unavailable approximately 10 months after the recall was issued. When Ford expects the required repair parts to actually become available. Whether Ford is taking adequate steps to provide affected vehicle owners with a timely and effective remedy. Whether Ford has provided an adequate interim solution for owners while they wait for the repair. I have contacted the dealership regarding the recall and have been advised that they cannot complete the repair because the necessary parts are unavailable. I am requesting NHTSA's assistance and review because this is a safety recall that remains unresolved many months after being issued.

I am filing this complaint concerning my 2020 Ford fusion energi and Ford safety recall 23s33 / NHTSA recall 23v440 involving the high-voltage battery. Ford's recall notice states that the battery energy control module may become damaged due to excess voltage and current flow caused by a current interrupt device activation in one or more high-voltage battery cells. Ford states that this can result in loss of motive power or a vehicle fire. My vehicle has been subjected to the recall remedy/interim work and I cannot use its plug-in charging capability. I purchased this vehicle specifically as a plug-in hybrid. Ford's may 2026 recall notice states that Ford authorized dealers to replace the high-voltage battery free of charge and that the repair will restore plug-in charging functionality. However, I have subsequently been informed that a replacement battery may not actually be available for my vehicle until approximately xxx, and I have been told that even that estimated timeframe is not guaranteed. I purchased this vehicle used at approximately 37,000 miles and it currently has only approximately 43,705 miles. I have therefore driven it only approximately 6,705 miles since purchasing it. My concern is that Ford acknowledges a safety-related high-voltage battery defect and has restricted the plug-in capability of the vehicle, yet I may potentially have to wait until late 2027 or longer for the replacement battery that restores the vehicle's intended functionality. I am requesting that NHTSA review Ford's administration of recall 23s33 as it relates to the availability and timeliness of the permanent high-voltage-battery remedy and determine whether owners such as myself are receiving a safe, free and effective recall remedy within an appropriate period. I was working in [xxx] and did not receive recall information at my [xxx] address I am back in [xxx]. I want Ford to buy back the vehicle based on the letter sent. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
