Details

What's wrong: The image processing module may be unable to provide video feed to the display, which could result in a loss of the backup camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "rear visibility."

Why it matters: A backup camera that displays a blank or distorted image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the image processing module software with the latest level, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2021.
