Recall 22V621 affects 46 2022 Ford Transit vehicles for a missing rearview camera image. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 46 2022 Transit vehicles equipped with a rearview camera because a missing audio control module can leave the rearview camera image blank when the van is in reverse. With no rear camera image, the driver has less visibility behind the vehicle, which increases crash risk, and Ford dealers will install the module free of charge.

What's wrong?
The audio control module, or ACM, is an electronic module that supports the Transit display and media system. On a 2022 Ford Transit with a rearview camera, that system is supposed to show the camera image on the center display when reverse gear is selected. That rear camera view helps the driver see directly behind the vehicle while backing up.
On affected Transit vehicles, Ford found that the ACM was never installed before the vehicle left the Kansas City Assembly plant. Without that module in place, the display system does not receive or show the rearview camera image in reverse. The same missing module also affects related cabin functions, including radio and USB operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. The condition is present when the module is missing: the driver selects reverse and the rearview camera image does not appear on the display screen.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.
What's the safety risk?
A missing rearview camera image limits what the driver can see behind the Transit and increases the risk of a crash while backing up. There is no warning sign before the image is missing, so check the display before reversing and use mirrors and direct sight lines. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Ford Transit is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free audio control module installation and programming that restores the rearview camera image.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V621 when you call.
- Use mirrors and a spotter when backing up until the rearview camera image is restored.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician installs the missing audio control module and programs the unit so the rearview camera system can display its image while the vehicle is in reverse. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Ford's general reimbursement plan covers eligible documented remedy costs paid before recall notification, with an eligibility end date listed as August 05, 2023. Ask Ford customer service what documentation is needed if you paid for this repair before the notice.
