FORD TRANSIT CONNECT recall: rear camera image display failures

Owners of affected Ford TRANSIT CONNECT vehicles should be aware that the rear camera image may not display reliably while reversing. That can reduce visibility behind the vehicle and increase crash risk.

What the official recall record says

FORD: TRANSIT CONNECT

The campaign covers vehicles that previously received a remedy under an earlier campaign. When reverse is selected, the rear camera may show an image that is distorted, inverted, intermittent or blank, limiting the driver’s view behind the vehicle. The listed remedy is replacement of the rearview camera as necessary at no charge. The official record distinguishes between communication about the safety risk and later communication once the remedy is available.
