A software issue may cause the backup camera to show a blank image, or the image may remain on the screen after the driver is done backing up. Either can reduce the driver’s view while backing up or distract them while driving, both increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will update the backup camera software for free. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 28, but those with further questions can contact Ford at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this issue is 25S72), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
