What's wrong, in plain English

On certain Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks, water can get into a module behind the tailgate called the Tailgate Park Assist Sensor Interface Module. When this happens, the rearview camera picture may come and go, or turn blue or black instead of showing a clear image. Dealers will replace the tailgate camera, the wiring, and the interface module, and update related software, free of charge.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included.
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
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 24V806000.
