The 2024 Ford F-450 SD has 3 recalls, the most serious involving trailer lights and brakes that can stop working, reducing the driver's ability to control a towed trailer and making it nearly invisible to other drivers.
The remaining two recalls both affect rear visibility, though in different ways. Water can get into the tailgate park assist sensor module and cause the rearview camera image to appear blue or black, or drop out entirely while backing up. A separate software issue can cause the rearview camera image to freeze on a previous frame or go blank when reversing, leaving the driver with no live view of what is directly behind the truck. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the camera display issue in all affected vehicles.
