Ford due to a manufacturing error in the wire harness, the rearview camera may display a blue image on the sync screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the back over prevention display function. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a manufacturing error in the wire harness, the rearview camera may display a blue image on the SYNC screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the rearview camera wire harness and repair any loose splices, free of charge.
