Can’t fix Explorer cameras, how are we going to fix these?
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 Ford Super Duty pickups in response to an issue with the rearview camera display.
The defect: in certain Ford Super Duty models outfitted with Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, the default rearview camera image may not be displayed when using Pro Trailer Hitch Assist due to a software coding error. Instead, the hitch or trailer view may be displayed.
The hazards: an incorrect rearview camera image can reduce the driver’s visibility of what’s behind the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash and injury.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Components: rearview camera display, Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) control module software.
Affected vehicles: select 2023 Ford Super Duty vehicles built between March 15th, 2023 and July 14th, 2023.
Number of vehicles affected: 18,513
The fix: dealers will update the ADAS module software, free of charge.
