  1. I just picked up a 2010 raptor with a camera if it does work the image is reveresed. You would think by now they would have it figured out

  2. My 2017 Lincoln MKT’s camera works just fine. Perhaps F should just go back to what worked six or so years ago. The old adage goes that you don’t fix something that is not broken.

  3. MY 2017 F350 HAS A REAR CAMERA RECALL SINCE SEPT 2022 AND SO FAR, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN THE REPLACEMENT CAMERA WILL BE AVAILABLE

    1. Same with the 2020 Lincoln Corsair I had and finally got rid of. Crazy prices charged for these vehicles and consumers are just supposed to put up with no fixes for years.

  4. This is not a new recall. It’s the conclusion of one that has been ongoing for months. Ford has been trying to correct the issue with software, which has apparently failed twice.

    I had the first “fix” applied to my 2020 Explorer. Ford then issued a new recall for a second software “fix” but then withdrew it.

    I’ve never had a camera related issue.
