Ford is recalling 21,904 2019 F-150, F-250 Sd, F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd trucks because a poor electrical connection can make the rearview camera show a blank or distorted image. That reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk; Ford dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The rearview camera on the 2019 Ford F-150, F-250 Sd, F-350 Sd, F-450 Sd, and F-550 Sd is the camera mounted at the back of the truck that sends the image to the in-cab display when reversing. It helps the driver see the area directly behind the vehicle, where mirrors alone leave a blind spot. That rear visibility system depends on a steady electrical connection inside the camera.
On affected trucks, the female terminals in the camera's circuit-board header were deformed when the matching male pins were inserted. Those terminals are small contact points that hold the electrical path closed. Once they move past their designed shape, the connection becomes unstable, so the rearview image can go blank or appear distorted during a backup maneuver.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the camera screen showing a blank or distorted image when reverse is selected.

What's the safety risk?
A blank or distorted rearview camera image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and increases crash risk while backing up. Use mirrors, turn your head to check behind the vehicle, and schedule the camera replacement soon if your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.

- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free rearview-camera replacement that fixes the blank or distorted image.
- Bring Ford's recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 22V252 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician replaces the rearview camera covered by recall 22V252. The repair restores the camera connection so the display no longer goes blank or distorted from that poor electrical connection. Replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through Ford's original warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, because warranty coverage provides the free repair for this concern. Ask the Ford service desk how warranty coverage applies to prior repair paperwork.
