Recall 25V887 covers 2 2022 Ford Transit vehicles with a rearview camera that shows a blank image. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 2 2022 Transit vehicles under recall 25V887 because an earlier 22V183 repair was done incorrectly, leaving the rearview camera at risk of showing a blank image in reverse. That limits the driver's view behind the van and increases crash risk; the Ford dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The Audio Control Module in the 2022 Ford Transit is the electronic module that runs the audio system and helps manage what appears on the center display. On Transits equipped with the Rear Video Camera and Prep Kit, that display path matters because the rear camera image is supposed to appear when the camera system is used.
These vans were already handled under Ford recall 22V183, but the software repair was not completed correctly on the affected VINs. The service tool loaded software that did not include the intended Audio Control Module remedy. With the wrong software still installed, the rearview camera supplied in the kit does not function as intended after final stage installation, and the driver sees a blank rearview image instead of the area behind the van.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the screen showing no rear camera image when the rearview camera view is needed.

Not every 2022 Ford Transit van is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the rearview camera does not show an image while reversing, the driver's view behind the Transit is reduced and the risk of a crash increases. There is no warning sign before the display problem appears, so check the image before backing up and use mirrors carefully. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Ford Transit is included in this recall.
- Watch for Ford's owner letter or ask a franchised Ford dealer whether the software update is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the free audio-control-module software update that restores the rearview camera display when the van is reversing.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V887 when you call.
- Check the rearview camera image before backing up until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Ford has identified the dealer remedy as an audio control module software update. Once the repair opens, a Ford technician will update the module software so the rearview camera image works as intended after the upfitter installation. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ford used its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related rearview camera or module repair should ask Ford customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit documented expenses.

Recall 25V887 covers 2 2022 Ford Transit vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall 22V183. The rearview camera in the Rear Video Camera and Prep Kit can show a blank image when reversing, reducing the driver's rear view. Ford dealers will update the audio control module software for free.
What should I do if my 2022 Ford Transit is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Transit is included in recall 25V887. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask for the audio control module software update. Reference Ford recall number 25S68 when you call. The repair is free.

What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced rear visibility while reversing. If the rearview camera displays a blank image, the driver has less view of what is behind the Transit, increasing crash risk. Use extra care backing up until the dealer completes the free software update.
