Recall 23V342 covers 442,973 2020-2023 Lincoln Corsair, Aviator, and Explorer vehicles equipped with a 360-degree camera because the video output can fail and leave the rearview camera image blank. That loss reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk, and the dealer repair will be free once Lincoln opens the remedy.

What's wrong?
The 360-degree camera system on 2020-2023 Corsair, Aviator, and Explorer vehicles uses cameras and image-processing software to show the area around the vehicle. The rear camera is part of that system. When the vehicle is in reverse, its video feed is supposed to appear on the center display so the driver can see what is behind the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, the video feed can drop out. Inside the rear camera, small movements at tin-plated connector surfaces create tin oxide buildup, which weakens the electrical path for the camera signal. Connector alignment problems from manufacturing can also deform the contact point. Wiring strain and the image-processing module software add to the loss of video frames, leaving a blue or black screen instead of the rearview image.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the rearview camera image not appearing when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
Who's affected?
Covers Corsair, Aviator, and Explorer SUVs across the 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 model years; all share the same IPMB software tied to the rear camera system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce what the driver sees behind the vehicle and increase crash risk while backing up. There is no warning sign before the image is lost, so use mirrors, look over your shoulder, and contact a Lincoln dealer about remedy timing. Repair will be free at any franchised Lincoln dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Corsair, Aviator, or Explorer is included in this recall.
- Use Lincoln's owner letter or dealer guidance to confirm when the 360-degree-camera replacement is ready for your VIN.
- Contact a franchised Lincoln dealer before scheduling, and ask whether recall number 23V342 applies to your vehicle.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and mention Lincoln recall 23S23 when you call.
- Back up with extra care until the camera repair is complete, since the rearview image can fail and reduce rear visibility.
What happens at the repair
Because the remedy is listed as under development, confirm repair availability before planning the visit. Once the final dealer repair is open, a Lincoln technician will replace the 360-degree camera, free under the recall. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V-022 still need the new remedy performed. Ford's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible owner-paid recall remedies before notification. Ford listed June 30, 2024 as the estimated ending date for reimbursement eligibility, and owners with prior repair costs should contact Ford customer service for the claim process.
