What's wrong?
The affected part is the PCM calibration software on 2019-2020 Ford Mustang vehicles equipped with 5.0L engines and manual transmissions. The Powertrain Control Module, or PCM, is the computer that helps manage the engine and transmission. It reads gear-position information and sends status signals to modules that run the reverse camera, reverse lamps, and driver-assist features.
On affected Mustangs, certain driving conditions create a mismatch between the manual gear position sensor signal and the PCM's estimated gear calculation. The PCM treats that mismatch as a fault, then sends a faulted signal to other modules. When those modules receive the faulted signal, they can shut off the reverse camera, reverse lamps, traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, or cross traffic indicator.
Owners can see a warning light and a message naming the feature that is not available. That message is the warning sign before the affected feature stops working.

What's the safety risk?
Disabled rearview camera, reverse light, traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, or cross traffic indicator reduces the driver's rear view or assist coverage and increases crash risk. A warning light or message identifies which function is unavailable. Schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Ford Mustang is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free PCM software update that fixes the reverse camera, reverse light, and driver assist signal issue.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. Reference recall number 22V382 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the software update is complete. Check the rearview camera, reverse light, and driver assist warnings before backing up.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician updates the Powertrain Control Module software so it no longer sends the unintended fault signal that can disable the reverse camera, reverse light, and driver assist functions. The software update and labor are free under recall 22V382. Ford's general reimbursement plan covers owner-paid repairs completed before the recall notice, with reimbursement eligibility estimated to end June 24, 2022. If you already paid for a related PCM software repair, contact Ford customer service with your repair documentation.
