1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2023

Under NHTSA recall 22v082. Ford refused to change the rear view camera despite it was under recall: the recall states to replace wiring harness and or camera replacement if necessary free of charge. My rear view camera is still distorted after they change the wiring harness and they told me to pay for the camera since its not covered under the recall. The letter that I got has the same recall number above but it didn't mention replacing the camera even though it has the same issue on the recall distort image when backing up. Nhtsa and consumer reports/ Ford websites they all mention to replace both if necessary. I attached a sample copy of the recall from Ford stating that. Even Ford specialist read that to me on the call when I asked her what did the recall number say about the fix. But the recall department says it s not covered. This is the detail for the recall below. Vehicles recalled: 2015-2017 Ford Mustang the problem: the wiring harness for the backup camera may be damaged or have an improperly soldered connection that can prevent an image from being displayed. The fix: dealerships will replace the backup camera and/or repair the decklid wiring harness at no charge. How to contact the manufacturer: Ford will contact owners by mail starting on March 7, 2022. Owners may also call Ford at 866-436-7332. Nhtsa campaign number: 22v082000. Ford’s number for this recall is 22s06.

Backup camera abruptly stopped working. It shows a hazy image with lines. There are recalls for 2016 Mustangs for that same issue, but none for my VIN.

3 Blind Spot Detection problem

Hi there, I believe there is a recall currently on Mustangs for the rear view camera not working. I checked my VIN number as my car has the same issue, but it doesn't show at a recall, I'd like understand why this is as the issue is on the same model, and year. I live in the uk, and this same issue happened with my car that was made in us, so I'd like to know if my car was in the us would it have been recalled regarding this rear camera recall. As the cars in the uk aren't and I just want to understand my options with Ford. I know this is a strange request, but would appreciate your steer on this.
