Infotainment on other Edge years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2018.
What this problem usually is
Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the camera (22 reports), the head unit or screen (10 reports) and the software (8 reports).
Recalls and investigations
4 recalls on the backup camera cover the 2022 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 10 service bulletins or notices for the 2022 Ford Edge that deal with this problem. Newest first.

Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Some 2021-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit an "Updating SYNC" message on the vehicle center display screen after an over the air (OTA) update.
Some of the vehicles listed in the model statement above equipped with SYNC4 may experience a blank center display screen or black center display after welcome animation.

“The display tablet will randomly stop working and just display a white screen and doesnt work for a few minutes. This started happening after the update ford recently did to fix the back up camera issue.”
Filed Sep 5, 2025
“The backup camera isn't working properly; it's very dim and glitchy. This was a known and recalled issue for 2021 - 2022 Ford Edges, but because of my VIN number, they won't fix it without charging me. If I'm having the same issue as the other recalled ones, why won't you service mine?”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 26 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
