BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator, 2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator, 2022-2023 Ford Transit, and 2021 Ford Bronco vehicles. The rearview camera, or 360-degree view camera if equipped, may not display a rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
- 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 rearview camera, and update the software and wiring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 20, 2023 to Lincoln owners. Ford vehicle owners notification letters were mailed March 4, 2024. Ford remedy parts are anticipated 2nd Quarter 2024. Ford's number for this recall is 23S48.
- 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 177,402 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2023, 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 15 times before this, most recently in August 2023 as 23V573000. 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 718 complaints with NHTSA, 218 of them before this campaign was filed. 84 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 July 2018, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 90 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V468000 (engine), 26V451000 (seats), 26V402000 (power train), 26V372000 (electrical system).
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 25, 2023 as campaign 23V598000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
