2015-2017 Ford Mustangs Recalled for Faulty Backup Camera

Ford is recalling some 2015-2017 Ford Mustangs due to concerns that the backup camera wiring may be loose or damaged, leading to a blank or distorted image when reversing.

There are potentially two causes to this recall: a camera installed between May 2014 through February 2015 with improper soldering on a circuit board OR a wiring harness used from February 2014 into October 2017 that could be damaged by opening and closing the trunk.

Ford noticed the issue due to an increased number of warranty repairs being performed for those specific issues (note: all manufacturers are able to track defect trends via increased warranty repairs). Over 8,000 warranty complaints were noted in Ford’s database
