Another Ford backup camera recall: 291,000 trucks

Ford F-Series Super Duty 360-degree cameras may experience issues under certain lighting conditions.

— A Ford 360-degree camera recall affects more than 291,000 model year 2020-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty and Ford F-450 Super Duty trucks because the 360-degree camera systems may not display rearview images.

But Ford says the problem only seems to occur under certain lighting conditions.

According to Ford:

“When one or more cameras are exposed to significantly different light than other cameras, the system’s automatic exposure compensation, which attempts to balance the overall scene, can cause the image from the camera(s) to appear seriously underexposed or overexposed.”

Ford learned of an issue in August when a Super Duty truck customer complained of a dark rearview camera image when backing into a dark area. Engineers were able to replicate the 360-degree camera problem and discovered problems with light exposure balance.

As of September 20, Ford is aware of ten reports of camera malfunctions, with the first reported on January 20, 2022, but there have been no reports of crashes or injuries.

Ford issued about 15 camera recalls in 2025, and it was camera-related recalls that cost Ford a $165 million federal fine in November 2024.

Ford dealers will update the Super Duty image processing module software. Things kick off when Ford issues interim recall letters for Super Duty trucks on October 20, 2025, notifying owners of the problem. However, second recall letters won’t be sent out until dealers are ready to make repairs, likely in March 2026.

Owners of Ford Super Duty trucks with questions can call 866-436-7332 and ask for 360-degree camera recall number 25SA8.
