Ford, Mack announce recalls

Ford Transit van

Ford recall for backup camera fix 

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ford Transit vehicles over concern that the rearview camera, or 360-degree view camera if equipped, may not display a rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the rearview camera, and update the software and wiring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 2, 2023. Ford's number for this recall is 23S48.

Nearly 170,000 vehicles are covered in the recall, which includes 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator, 2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator, 2022-2023 and 2021 Ford Bronco.
