BACK OVER PREVENTION

The contact owns a 2011 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while shifted into reverse(R), the rearview camera image failed to display as intended. The contact stated that an unknown message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, and the contact was informed to contact the local dealer for assistance. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V598000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the VIN nor the model vehicle was included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Rear camera quits working or it works only upside down. The seatbelts are deteriorating.

SEAT BELTS

Rear camera quits working or it works only upside down. The seatbelts are deteriorating.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

My backup rearview camera blacked out one day. Then it came back upside down. Then one day it went back to a right-side up view. But then it is upside down again. It is EXTREMELY difficult to see anything now when I back up with the view being upside down. I talked to a mechanic and they said they see this issue frequently. There is a recall 25S42 from April 2025 for something similar but it includes a 2015 Lincoln MKC but not the 2011 Lincoln MKX. They need to add the 2011 Lincoln MKX to the recall.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

Body Control Module has developed an internal short that is causing safety systems not to work. It is also affecting the heating/ air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system. This was recalled previously but the manufacturer wont do anything about it. I have had the vehicle at 2 separate dealerships who say the same thing, that the part is not available and can't be repaired. I called Ford directly and they are refusing to do anything about it since the old recall was performed but clearly never fixed the issue.
