NHTSA recall 23V305000
Back Over Prevention · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 12.1-inch integrated computer screen (ics). When the display on/off button is used to turn the display to "off" prior to placing the vehicle in reverse, the backup camera rearview image will not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "rear visibility."
Why it matters: A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Dealers will update the ics software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2023.
