Known issues for this generation

NHTSA recall 25V442 covers 2019-2020 Edge vehicles, among roughly 200,000 Ford and Lincoln vehicles across twenty nameplates, for a software error that may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image or leave the image on the display after the backing event has ended. A blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, and an image that stays up after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Dealers update the rearview camera software free of charge.
