Rearview Camera Blank/Distorted Image (Recall)
A software error causes the rearview camera to display a blank, distorted, glitching, flickering, or frozen image when the vehicle is in reverse. This is the most commonly recalled issue on the 2022 Edge, with Ford issuing multiple software fixes across different build dates.
Ford issued recalls for 2021-2024 Edge vehicles to update the rearview camera software. The fix is available as a dealer repair or an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Contact your dealer to verify your VIN.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallEngine Knock/Thump from Left Cylinder Head (2.7L)
2022 Edge ST models with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 may develop an upper engine thump or knock noise originating from the left cylinder head. The noise is most apparent at idle or low RPMs and may worsen as the engine warms up.
Ford issued a TSB addressing the upper engine knock noise on vehicles with the 2.7L or 3.0L engine. The repair may involve replacing the left-side exhaust camshaft or cam phaser. The issue should be covered under the powertrain warranty.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $1,000 - $2,500 if out of warrantyDrivetrain and Transmission Harsh Shifting
Drivetrain complaints are among the most common for the 2022 Edge. The 8-speed automatic transmission can shift harshly, hesitate during gear changes, and exhibit a shudder during light acceleration. Some owners report the transmission slipping under hard acceleration.
Have the dealer perform a transmission fluid flush with the specified Mercon ULV fluid and reprogram the transmission control module with the latest calibration. If the torque converter is shuddering, it may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $200 - $400 for fluid flush and reprogram; $1,500 - $3,000 for torque converterDriver Seat Switch Inoperative
The power driver seat adjustment switch may become inoperative, preventing seat position, recline, or lumbar adjustments. The issue is typically caused by a spread terminal in the seat switch electrical connector rather than a failed motor.
Ford issued a TSB to inspect and repair the seat switch connector terminal. The dealer will reform or replace the spread terminal in the wiring connector. If the switch assembly itself has failed, the entire switch module needs replacement.
Est. Cost: $100 - $300 for connector repair; $200 - $500 for switch replacementBrake Noise Under Application
Owners report squealing, grinding, or groaning brake noise during normal braking. The noise may be present in both forward and reverse directions and is particularly noticeable in cold or damp conditions.
Ford issued a TSB directing dealers to perform brake pinpoint tests per the Workshop Manual. Common fixes include replacing brake pads with an updated formulation, machining rotors, and applying brake caliper slide pin lubricant. Inspect for stuck caliper slide pins.
Est. Cost: $200 - $600 for front or rear brake service3 NHTSA safety recalls for the 2019 Ford Edge. Check your VIN at NHTSA.gov

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.

Missing or loose bolts on the start stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission fluid leak and may progress to a loss of transmission function. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S49.

In the event of a crash, seat belt webbing that detaches from the anchor will not properly restrain the driver, increasing their risk of injury.
Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver's side pretensioner assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 12, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S37.
