| Description of the problem | 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. Https://www. F150forum.
