The rearview camera in these vehicles may appear distorted or blank when the vehicle is in Reverse, decreasing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed before November; a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available, which Ford expects to be in June 2026. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 25SA9), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.

The Crown Signia shares the name, but it’s a quasi-wagon/SUV only available with one hybrid setup and in just two trim levels. Upgrades to the Crown Signia for the 2026 model year are likewise slight: A black roof is now optional with all exterior paint colors on the Limited trim. Otherwise, the Crown Signia is unchanged for its second year on the market.
