2020 Ford Edge

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Edge, 2020 Lincoln Nautilus and Ford Escape and 2021 Lincoln Corsair and Ford Bronco Sport vehicles. An inadequate amount of lubricant in the rear drive unit may cause seizure of the rear drive axle.

If the rear drive unit seizes, there may be a loss of drive and/or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will check the rear drive unit lubricant level. Axles found to have lubricant at the minimum level will be filled to the full level. Axles found to be below the minimum lubricant fill level will be replaced, free of charge. This recall began March 12, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Due to a poor electrical connection, the rearview camera may intermittently display a blank or distorted image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Reduced rearward visibility can increase the risk of a crash.

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.
