NHTSA Complaint #11362982 — 2016 FORD F-150

FORD HAS JUST RECALLED 700,00 VEHICLES OF VARIOUS 2020 MODELS DUE TO THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA, WHICH FEATURES A CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CAN BE FAULTY RESULTING IN "BLANK OR DISTORTED IMAGES" ON THE SCREEN. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT AS I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE AFFECTS OTHER MODEL YEARS, SPECIFICALLY THE 13TH GENERATION F-150. I HAVE A 2016 F-150 THAT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND OF WHICH I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS POSTED ACROSS MULTIPLE FORUMS. THIS ISSUE PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AS VISIBILITY BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE CAMERA MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE INCLUDED AN IMAGE OF MY CAMERA WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA ENCOURAGE FORD TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED MODELS AS THEY MUST BE AWARE THE ISSUE IS BROADER THAT WHAT IS BEING COMMUNICATED. I AM INCLUDING THE LINKS WHICH INCLUDE THE COMMENTS OF SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME SYMPTOMS. YOU WILL SEE THESE DISCUSSIONS GO BACK SEVERAL YEARS.
