   Rear blower motor caught on fire, causing smoke to cover the inside of the vehicle. Part had to then be removed from the car. Melted plastic around the inside of the fan and motor. Also we have replaced the blower motive in the front of the vehicle that was under recall and it has continued to let's burn wires underneath the dash whete it plugs in so i dont believe the blower motor in front was the issue!

   The backup camera works intermittently. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the rearview camera sometimes displays a blank image. There are several recalls pending for the same issue for later years. For example, Ford has a recall for 2018-2022 Ford Expeditions with Ford Reference Number 25S72 and another recall effecting 2021 - 2024 vehicles. [XXX] Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
