BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles equipped with a 360-degree camera. The video output may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
- What it can cause
- Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the 360-degree camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 10, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S23. This recall expands and replaces NHTSA recall number 23V-022. Vehicles previously repaired under 23V-022 will need to have the new remedy performed.
- 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 442,973 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 13 times before this, most recently in April 2023 as 23V305000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 11 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,312 complaints with NHTSA, 599 of them before this campaign was filed. 236 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 November 2019, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 64 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V451000 (seats), 26V402000 (power train), 26V159000 (seat belts), 26V123000 (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 May 12, 2023 as campaign 23V342000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
