As the owner of a 21 Explorer ST this is the last one for me. Im on recall #6 now. No fix in sight. Goodbye Ford.
No recall on my Edge rear camera. Sometimes goes dark when backing. I called Ford on it and said, no recall, SORRY!
Same problem with the camera on my 2017 Expedition and same reply from Ford.
Slamming the rear hatch usually clears it up until the next time. I get 3-4 month of good images then the screen goes dark again. The slam fix has been working for me over the past 3 years. I’m capable of fixing it myself but, the pain is trying to get to the camera which requires removing the inner trim and panels on the entire hatch.
