Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
Hello- I have the back up camera rear view mirror issue of other recalls but my vehicle is not listed as a part of the recall. It is a 2015 Ford Transit 250- Is there any reason it isn't included? My back up camera in the rear view mirror goes to blue or also shows and upside down picture like the other vehicles in the recall.
This 2015 Transit has the same problems described in Manufacturer Recall Number 25S49/the federal safety agency Recall Number 25V315 Backup camera freezes and has black screen when in use.
The rearview backup camera is glitching often. It's either showing upside down or showing blank screen. When it's disabled, risk or injury and/or death can result. It has not been inspected by manufacturer. No warning message has been seen.
When the transmission is in reverse, the stock rearview camera view intermittently completely fails to display in the rearview mirror, is displayed upside-down, is distorted and/or discolored. It is failing more often than it is working correctly.
