What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks and Lincoln Continental cars that have the 360-degree camera system. The anti-reflective coating on the camera lens can break down, and when that happens the rearview camera picture can look foggy or cloudy instead of clear. Ford says dealers will replace the rearview camera at no cost to the owner.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer, or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, to have the rearview camera replaced.
3. The repair is free.
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 22V644000.
