Lincoln is recalling 41,875 of its 2020-2022 Corsair SUVs because water can enter the rearview camera connectors and leave the display blank or distorted. That reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once Lincoln opens it.

What's wrong?
The rearview camera on the 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair sits in the rear light bar area and sends the image behind the SUV to the dashboard display. That image is part of the back-over prevention system, so the driver can see what is directly behind the vehicle when reversing.
On recalled Corsairs, water gets into the rearview camera connector. The cause is an uninsulated drain wire, which is a ground wire in the camera harness. Once moisture reaches the connector, corrosion builds inside the electrical connection. That corrosion interrupts the camera signal, so the display shows a distorted rear image or no rear image at all.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the rear camera image disappears or looks distorted, treat that as the defect already showing up.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Corsair, all using the rear light bar assembly tied to the camera system.

What's the safety risk?
A blank or distorted rearview camera image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk while backing up. Use mirrors and look over your shoulder until the final remedy is ready. Repair will be free at any franchised Lincoln dealer once Lincoln opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair is included in this recall.
- Watch for Ford's final remedy letter before scheduling the dealer repair.
- Contact a franchised Lincoln dealer once Ford opens the final repair, which replaces the rearview camera harness and camera to fix the missing or distorted backup image.
- Reference recall number 25V510 and Ford recall 25S83 when you call the dealer or customer service.
- Use extra care when backing up until the repair is complete. Check mirrors and look behind the vehicle before moving in reverse.
What happens at the repair
Lincoln's interim notice told owners about the safety risk while the final repair is not yet open. Once available, a Lincoln technician will replace the rearview camera harness and rearview camera. The recall repair will be free, with parts and labor covered. Lincoln uses the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan for documented rearview camera repairs paid before the recall notice. Keep repair invoices and payment records, and ask Lincoln customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit them.
