Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Foggy back up lens since purchase in 2019. Progressively getting worse. Now can NOT see anything on the back up camera image. Received a recall notice in this issue from Ford in Sept of 2022. (Recall notice - 22S51). As of today, 10 March 2023, the part to repair the problem is still not available. This is an unreasonable amount of time to have this issue resolved. I request Ford replace with a newer back-up camera and lens to correct this. Please help and advise. Thanks.
