What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V-342. The video output may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
Why it matters
Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
