My 2015 Ford Flex is affected by recall 25V695 for the rear view camera inspection. I contacted my local Ford dealership to have the recall addressed and was told that no remedy parts are available at any dealership. They could not provide a timeline for when parts would be in stock. This vehicle is part of my commercial fleet and cannot be operated or rented until the recall is resolved. I am losing over $1,200 per month in revenue because Ford issued a recall with no fix available. Owners should not be forced to absorb open-ended financial losses because the manufacturer cannot supply the parts needed to complete its own recall.
