What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain F-150 and Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks. A weak electrical connection means the backup camera may show a blank screen or a distorted picture, and it may do this on and off rather than all the time. Because of this, these trucks do not meet the federal government's rear visibility safety standard. Dealers will put in a new rearview camera at no charge to the owner.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether your truck is included. 2. Contact your Ford dealer to have the camera replaced, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. 3. The replacement is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V252000.
