Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
NOTE: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit, if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Attachment II for more information.
NOTE: This service action will automatically close out FSA 21S44 once performed and claimed.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, customers may intermittently experience a rear camera blue image on the SYNC screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse, or when the 360 degree view is selected and available (during low-speed operation). Once displayed, the rear camera blue image will persist for the remainder of the ignition ON cycle. Once present, the issue is likely to reoccur on subsequent key cycles. The loss of the rear camera image during a reverse action increases the risk of a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to program the Image Processing Module B (IPMB) to the latest software level (version LB5T-14F017AY or higher) using FDRS. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: The 21S44 FSA service actions covered separate but similar issues. Vehicles under this program (FSA 23S02) will still need this repair completed even if 21S44 was performed. A completed and claimed 23S02 service action will automatically close out 21S44 if still open.
NOTE: Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) cannot be used for programming on any vehicle in this program.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of February 13, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

CERTAIN 2020-2023 MODEL YEAR MULTIPLE VEHICLE LINES EQUIPPED WITH 360 DEGREE CAMERAS — INOPERATIVE REAR / 360 DEGREE CAMERA WITH A BLUE SCREEN
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Programming
NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTCs after programming. For DTCs generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the VCM is properly connected to the DLC.
2. Log into Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the VIN.
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the left hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the right hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
4. Select Toolbox tab.
5. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select IPMB – Image Processing Module B (IPMB).
6. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select IPMB Software Update.
7. Click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
8. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.
9. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.
10. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTCs in all modules.
11. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed.
Important Information for Module Programming
NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.
- Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.
- Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming.
- A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
- Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
- Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
- Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
- Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
- Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the data link connector (DLC) and your PC.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for
the noncompliance decision.
On October 22, 2021, NHTSA contacted Ford regarding (3) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) related to allegations of a blue image in the rear camera display after the completion of 21S44. Product Development (PD) and Ford Customer Service Division (FCSD) teams identified an issue with the service tool that resulted in dealers not installing the 21S44 remedy software in vehicles. This issue was promptly corrected for service, and VINs that had been repaired were re-opened for 21S44 remedy in November, 2021.
On January 26, 2022, NHTSA provided an additional (5) VOQs related to allegations of a blue image in the rear camera display after the completion of 21S44. Ford responded to NHTSA on February 23, 2022 with a summary of findings regarding the VOQs and the service tool issue and remedy.
On March 15, 2022, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) opened an investigation after receiving 13 VOQs related to a blue image in the rear camera display after the completion of 21S44.
From March through June 2022, Ford continued to work with suppliers to analyze claims relating to blue screens. Analyzing claims was complicated by 2 unique failure modes (full blue screen and rear only blue image) which resulted in similar claims. Ford worked with suppliers, analyzed over 100 cameras replaced in the field for blue screen symptoms, and analyzed returned IPMB modules, eliminating potential root causes. Ford and supply base were unable to replicate the concern in the laboratory or in-vehicle until December, 2022.
From June through October, 2022, Ford continued to work with suppliers to analyze claims relating to blue screens. In July 2022, Ford identified a susceptibility of the system to enter standby mode due to lack of reinitialization strategy; however. Ford was not able to replicate this susceptibility in a vehicle. Work started with the supplier to eliminate the potential for this susceptibility to occur.
Throughout the time period from March 2022 to November 2022, Ford continued to monitor warranty claims attributed to this concern, and rates remained at a low level.
On December 7, 2022, the CCRG observed an increasing trend in warranty rates for blue screen on vehicles produced after the 21S44 clean point, after 9 months in service.
Ford’s CCRG issued a Stop-Ship for the affected vehicle lines.
As of November 30, 2022, there have been 2115 warranty reports alleging occurrence of rear camera blue images for vehicles produced with software version IT 15.4. As of January 5, 2023, there have been 21 NHTSA (VOQs) for customers experiencing rear camera blue image related to this concern, with 16 VOQs confirmed to have occurred post FSA 21S44 completion.
On January 13, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is aware of 17 reported minor accidents allegedly resulting from blue screen symptoms, and not aware of any reports of injury related to this condition.
Ford has not identified a root cause for the loss of video frames in the camera system.
Ford’s IPMB supplier has implemented a response strategy to remedy the concern. As the root cause cannot be attributed to a component at this time, Ford has removed the supplier information. Ford and their suppliers are continuing to investigate the concern to determine root cause.

NOTE: Some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant. Monitor OASIS before opening an RO and/or beginning a repair. Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit, if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Attachment II for more information. NOTE: This service action will automatically close out FSA 21S44 once performed and claimed. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, customers may intermittently experience a rear camera blue image on the SYNC screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse, or when the 360 degree view is selected and available (during low-speed operation). Once displayed, the rear camera blue image will persist for the remainder of the ignition ON cycle. Once present, the issue is likely to reoccur on subsequent key cycles. The loss of the rear camera image during a reverse action increases the risk of a crash. Ó Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to program the Image Processing Module B (IPMB) to the latest software level (version LB5T-14F017- AY or higher) using FDRS. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. NOTE: The 21S44 FSA service actions covered separate but similar issues. Vehicles under this program (FSA 23S02) will still need this repair completed even if 21S44 was performed. A completed and claimed 23S02 service action will automatically close out 21S44 if still open. NOTE: Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) cannot be used for programming on any vehicle in this program. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of February 13, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

For DTCs generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures. 1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery. NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle. NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the VCM is properly connected to the DLC. 2. Log into Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS). NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete. 3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle’ or manually enter the VIN. NOTE: Available modules are shown on the left hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the right hand (RH) side of the screen.

ATTACHMENT III PAGE 2 OF 2 SAFETY RECALL 23S02 CPR © 2023 FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEARBORN, MICHIGAN 48121 01/2023 Important Information for Module Programming NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors. • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source. NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software. • Inspect Vehicle Communication Module II (VCM II)/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended. • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors. • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio,etc.). • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully. • Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes. • Create all sessions key on engine off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process. Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the data link connector (DLC) and your PC. b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and the PC. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection. c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test. d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application. e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order. Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 23S02 Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 23S02, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to March 03, 2023. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safety-related defects or noncompliance’s pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: • The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or • The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: • Claimant name and address • Vehicle make, model, and model year • Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code) • Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number) • Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained • An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement. • If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.
