What this recall means for you
Certain 2018 Ford F-550 trucks fitted with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors can have their back-up camera display revert to factory default settings. When that happens, the camera image may appear reversed on the screen.
A driver relying on a reversed image may turn the wrong way to avoid an object behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. If your truck has this monitor, check that the back-up camera image matches what you see in your mirrors and turns as expected, and be cautious when reversing until the repair is done.
The repair is free. Farber Specialty Vehicles will notify owners, and dealers will add a harness relay capacitor module at no charge. Contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188 or ASA customer service at 1-800-384-4400, and check your VIN for open recalls.
