BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017-2020 F-Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and 2017-2020 Lincoln Continental vehicles equipped with the 360-degree camera system. Degradation of the camera's anit-reflective lens coating can lead to a foggy or cloudy rearview camera image.
- What it can cause
- Lack of a clear rearview camera image can reduce the driver's visibility of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 14, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S51.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 277,040 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 8 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V621000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 12 of the 16 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 4,533 complaints with NHTSA, 3,083 of them before this campaign was filed. 135 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2016, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V158000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V686000 (back over prevention), 25V626000 (steering), 25V572000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on August 26, 2022 as campaign 22V644000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
