Ford recalls over 700K vehicles; backup cameras can go dark

The recall covers most 2020 versions of Ford's F-Series trucks, as well as the 2020 Explorer, Mustang, Transit, Expedition, Escape, Ranger and Edge

Dealers will replace the rearview camera at no cost to owners. The recall is expected to start Nov. 7.

I'm shocked my XL even has one. Still use the mirrors though.

You can thank the federal government for requiring all manufactures on all models of all vehicles for that it went into effect in 2018 I believe. Like you i just use my mirrors.

 

Took my truck in for the recall, they replaced the camera per Ford with a new "old" camera and told me thats all they can do until they have parts which may be Spring 2021 before they have them. And all the news ones on the lot cannot be sold with a recall on them that cannot be corrected.

 

I got a letter saying the parts might be available late December. They will notify when

 

I was driving a friend's Lexus the other day (actually evening, darn Winter!), and I noticed that it is too bright and distracting with all of the LCD displays and what not. Especially where I live, the darker the cab, the better so I can see deer and people in the road. I found a way to turn dim it, but it wasn't good enough and there was no way to turn it all off at least in the short period I was driving it.

I don't like today's vehicles.

 

I got the recall notice in the mail last week. I've had my 2020 since late March and haven't had any issues with my camera yet, currently @ 8700 miles. I'm not taking it in as long as the camera isn't acting up. I don't want those yahoos touching my truck if it's not necessary.
