Ford F-Series Trucks Rearview Camera Display Software Update Recall

Ford is recalling 2020-2022 F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks because the rearview camera system may fail to display properly in certain lighting conditions, reducing driver visibility and increasing crash risk during backing.

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.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a risk-of-harm product (back-over prevention camera system) with no reported injuries, deaths, or crashes. The defect increases crash risk through impaired visibility but is remediable via software update rather than a structural defect, meeting the rubric criterion for Score 3.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2020-2022 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, and F-450 SD vehicles due to a software issue with the 360-degree view camera system. The image processing module software may not display the rearview image properly in certain lighting conditions.

When the rearview camera fails to display correctly, it reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle. This limitation increases the risk of a crash, particularly when backing up or maneuvering in parking situations.

Ford will remedy this issue by updating the image processing module software at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 19, 2026. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or use Ford's recall number 25SA8 to schedule service with a Ford dealer. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) affected by this recall are searchable on NHTSA.gov. Approximately 291,901 vehicles are affected across model years 2020, 2021, and 2022.
