Ford Recalls Super Duty, Lincoln Continental Over Cloudy Backup Cameras
Ford has issued its third major recall of the month, the latest affecting more than 277,000 of its Super Duty line of heavy-duty pickup trucks and Continental sedans from luxury arm Lincoln. The issue stems from the vehicles’ 360-degree camera system.

Affected vehicles include more than 277,000 model-year 2017-20 F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty pickups equipped with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System, plus model-year 2017-20 Continentals equipped with the 360-degree camera system. Degradation of the camera’s antireflective lens coating can lead to a foggy or cloudy rearview camera image, which can reduce the driver’s visibility behind the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera for free to resolve the issue. Ford will begin notifying owners Sept. 12, but those with questions can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 22S51), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
