What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Ford Transit vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the image processing module for the 360-degree camera system, which may fail to process the image from the rearview camera under specific rear loading conditions.

This defect can result in the loss of the rearview camera image while the vehicle is reversing. This loss of visibility reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the Image Processing Module B (IPMB) software free of charge to correct the issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 7, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
