Ford software error may cause the rearview camera image to be obstructed by the infotainment home screen menu 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.
A software error may cause the rearview camera image to be obstructed by the infotainment home screen menu when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
An obstructed rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge.
