What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Transit and Ford Bronco vehicles. On these vehicles the rearview camera, or the 360-degree view camera if the vehicle has one, may not show a picture on the screen when the driver shifts into reverse. Dealers will replace the rearview camera and update the software and wiring where necessary, free of charge. Ford has said replacement parts for Ford vehicles were expected in the second quarter of 2024.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether your vehicle is covered. 2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer and ask about recall number 23S48. 3. The camera replacement and any software or wiring work are 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 23V598000.
