“My transit 2022 van has intermittent issues with the climate controls not working. Sometimes it will completely stop working for a day or more, and other times a few hours. This becomes a big issue in the winter when you need to keep the windshield clear of frost on the outside and inside. When looking online I found that I am not the only one having this issue.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Dec 2025

“My van has the 360 camera (1 one each side and 1 on the rear). My van would intermittently experience blue image on the sides and rear when vehicle is placed in reverse. There was a recall on the rear camera only (Recall 23V598) that was recently performed on my van. It looks like the rear camera is fixed but I am now intermitently getting a gray image on the left and right camera when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Ford needs to replace all 3 of the cameras to really fix this issue.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · May 2024
“My 360 side cameras are turning blue while reversing. I asked Ford Corp to fix it under the recall, but Ford refused to rectify. I ended up paying $701 out of my own pocket.

I had to go to Check Cashing place to borrow $701 NOTE: I almost hit a mother and a child while backing up because my screen turn blue all of a sudden.”Owner report · Lane Departure · May 2024

“There is a recall 23S48 to replace the rear camera. My 2022 Ford Transit has a 360 camera and only the rear camera was replaced with the recall. My side camera is also having intermittent issues where it shows a grey/blue screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Ford needs to replace all three cameras for the 360 system and not just the rear. This is still a safety issue when you cannot see vehicles on your side when reversing.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Mar 2024
“Campaign/NHTSA# 23S48/23V598 Even though Ford Motor website sows the fix for the recall is available, when we approach the authorized dealers they are saying it is not available. I have contacted two authorized dealers and none of them are able to fix the issue, saying the parts not avaialble. Dealers that I have contacted are: AutoNation Ford Jacksonville (10720 Phillips Highway Jacksonville, FL 32256 (904) 865-5509) Coggin Ford (9650 Atlantic Boulevard Jacksonville, FL 32225 (904) 893-2735) This is pretty much not drivable now the camera hardly works anytime.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Feb 2024
