Why This Matters
A rearview camera that fails to display a clear image can significantly reduce a driver's visibility of what is behind the vehicle. This impairment increases the risk of a crash, especially when backing up or maneuvering in tight spaces. The safety standard for rear visibility requires these systems to function correctly.
What's Being Recalled
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2019 F-150, Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles. The issue stems from a poor electrical connection within the rearview camera system, which can lead to the camera intermittently displaying a "blank or distorted image." This failure means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
