Ford Recalls 2019 F-Series Trucks for Rearview Camera Defect

Ford is recalling 2019 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks because a poor electrical connection may cause the rearview camera to display a blank or distorted image, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (increased crash risk due to reduced rear visibility) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2019 F-150, Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles. The recall involves 21,904 vehicles.
