Plain-English summary

Farber Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain 2018 Ford F-550 vehicles equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors. These monitors are used to display the back-up camera image.

The affected monitors may revert to factory default settings, which can cause the camera image to be reversed. This defect may cause the driver to inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Farber will notify owners, and dealers will add a harness relay capacitor module free of charge. The recall began on May 9, 2019. Owners may contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188 or ASA customer service at 1-800-384-4400.
