My 2016 Ford F-350 is included in the federal safety agency recall [campaign number 25S89/25V572] for rearview camera failure. I received notice probably a year ago and it stopped working 2 days ago. The camera is currently malfunctioning and I can not see behind me when I back up. Dealers state no parts available and no timeline for repair, only willing to help if I pay a $200 diagnostic fee. Vehicle remains unrepaired.

I am a handicapped 65 yr. old male. I purchased this vehicle in 2019 used from a FORD dealer. Marchese Ford, Lebanon, NY. Pretty much since I have owned this vehicle, The back up camera has been working intermittingly. Sometimes it will work but lately, It is just lines and distorted objects. Or, will not come on at all. As I cannot work, I can't afford the money to diagnose the problem. I do know that it is not the camera as my son tried the camera on his friends truck and it worked properly. Now I see a recall for over 600,00 vehicles and am hoping to include my truck as I need this camera to back up as I cannot turn completely to see me surroundings due to illness/injuries.

I need a wiring harness for my reverse camera on my f350. There are 0 parts available as this is a known issue with these trucks as is the in cab portion of this harness. I've talked to multiple dealers and ford themselves and there is no intent to make this part, which means my reverse camera will no longer function. Part number fc3z-14a412-a
