What This Recall Means
Component
BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
What Happened
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Explorer Police Interceptor Utility vehicles equipped with a 12.1-inch Integrated Computer Screen (ICS). 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."
Risk if Unfixed
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
