The rearview camera does not always come on when the vehicle is put in reverse. It appears to be the same issue as the newer Lincoln Navigators and other fords for which a recall was just issued. The recall number for Ford is 25s49. The recall needs to include the 2017 Navigator as well. You can not see behind the vehicle when the camera malfunctions the vehicle has not been to the dealer for the issue yet when the camera does not work there is a error message.
Recall number 25s08 for side mirror lighting, the disconnect remedy is unacceptable. These side lights provide safety measures for exiting and entering the vehicle. As older adults seeing the fold out step in the dark is necessary. If these lights are disconnected due to the recommended remedy from Ford then there is a fall hazard for owners who don't see well at night. The steps could be missed resulting in a fall. We request the lights be replaced or repaired not disconnected. Recall documents mailed from Ford/Lincoln to my address March and June 2025.
Back-up camera quit working about 3 months ago, 2025. There is a recall for the 2018 cameras but this is a 2017. Please include the 2017 year in the recall list. This issue poses a safety hazard when backing. Driver can not see what is behind the vehicle or if it is in a dangerous position. Since this is a SUV sized car the side mirrors are not adequate to safely see what is behind the car when backing. We have had a few close calls but no injuries yet.
