2022 Ford Transit: Back Over Prevention recall
NHTSA campaign 22V183000 · 119 units potentially affected · filed Mar 25, 2022
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Transit vehicles. The rearview camera supplied in the Rear Video Camera and Prep Kit will not function when installed by the final stage manufacturer (upfitter), resulting in a blank rearview image.
Why it matters
A camera that does not display a rearview image while reversing can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the audio control module configuration settings, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 12, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S18.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
