Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Seat belts, Seat belts Vehicle recall #19V766000 · 2019 · 366 vehicles
What's wrong: The driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor May have been improperly crimped, possibly resulting in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, seat belt webbing that detaches from the anchor will not properly restrain the driver, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver's side pretensioner assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 12, 2019.
Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #20V550000 · 2020 · 97 vehicles
What's wrong: The start/stop accumulator endcap May have missing or loose bolts.
Why it matters: Missing or loose bolts on the start stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission fluid leak and May progress to a loss of transmission function. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source May increase the risk of fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020.
Backup camera Vehicle recall #25V442000 · 2025 · 200,237 vehicles
What's wrong: A software error May cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image May remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
Why it matters: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse May distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025.
