The short version

Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the back over prevention display function. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

When the Display On/Off Button is used to turn the display to "Off" prior to placing the vehicle in reverse, the backup camera rearview image will not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

WHY IT MATTERS

A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will update the ICS software, free of charge.
