The recall includes certain 2020–2022 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, and F-450 SD vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) safety recall report said Ford reviewed customer complaint data and warranty information to assess the issue.

The automaker said that as of Sept. 20, it was aware of 10 reports, with the first occurring on Jan. 20, 2022. Ford said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the problem.

Dealers will update the image processing module software in the affected vehicles for free. Interim letters are expected to be sent to vehicle owners on Oct. 20, with additional letters to follow once the final remedy is available, anticipated in March 2026.
