The rearview cameras may have software errors that cause the rear images to freeze, delay or not display at all.
“The center infotainment screen may freeze followed by a black screen and a system reboot. If this occurs during a backing event, the rear-view image may be frozen, missing, or delayed.” — Ford
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration contacted Ford in January regarding allegations of rearview camera complaints on 2021-2023 Ford F-150 trucks.
Ford learned of 15 complaints alleging frozen backup camera images while in reverse and an additional 18 with SYNC and/or accessory protocol interface module concerns. Another four complaints indicated an intermittent or persistent loss of rearview camera images.
A total of 232 warranty claims in North America were found for all models, and one allegation of a minor crash resulting in property damage was submitted.
Ford dealerships will update the accessory protocol interface module software or the updates may be sent through over-the-air updates.
Ford and Lincoln owners will receive interim backup camera recall letters in June, and second letters will be sent once repairs are ready, “anticipated for third quarter 2025.”
Owners may contact Ford at 866-436-7332 and ask about backup camera recall number 25S49.
