Major Ford Truck Recall Hits Super Duty Owners Over Critical Camera Defect |
More than 290,000 F-250, F-350, and F-450 models face a serious safety risk from malfunctioning rearview cameras, prompting a federal investigation. |

A sweeping Ford Truck Recall has sent a wave of concern through our community, impacting thousands of local truck owners who rely on their vehicles for work and family safety.
Federal regulators confirmed the recall covers certain 2020-2022 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, and F-450 SD trucks.
The issue stems from a rearview camera system that can fail to display an image properly under specific lighting conditions.
For drivers, this means the screen could go dark at a critical moment.
A sudden loss of visibility while backing up dramatically increases the risk of a crash, a danger highlighted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
While Ford has stated it is not aware of any accidents or injuries connected to this flaw, the company acknowledged receiving at least 10 official reports about the problem.
The fix is a free software update for the image processing module, which will be performed at local Ford dealerships.
Owners should expect initial notification letters soon, but the final remedy isn't anticipated to be ready until March 2026, a timeline causing frustration for many.
This is a significant vehicle safety notice that local drivers must take seriously.
Vehicle owners may call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Individuals may also contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
