Ford Ranger vehicles with the specified center screen may lose the rearview camera image; the official record says a repair is still under development.

What the official recall record says
FORD: RANGER
The specified center screen may lose power and fail to show the rearview camera image, a condition identified in the official record as not meeting rear-visibility requirements. Without that image, the driver’s view behind the vehicle is reduced, which the record says can increase crash risk. The manufacturer says the remedy is under development; owners will receive further notice when it is available.
