Ford recalls 290K vehicles over rearview camera safety issue

Ford has issued a recall notice for more than 291,000 vehicles over a potential issue with the rearview camera causing the image to be displayed improperly in certain lighting conditions.

The recall notice said the issue with the 360-degree view camera system may reduce the driver’s view behind the car, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall affects the 2020-2022 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, and F-450 SD vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said letters notifying vehicle owners of the recall are expected to be mailed on Monday. Another letter will be mailed once the final remedy is ready, which is anticipated in March, according to the notice.

Dealers will update the image processing module software for free once it’s available.

The Ford recall number is 25SA8.
