Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.
CSR-3305
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Ford that certain 2015-2019 model-year Ford vehicles equipped with Altec equipment require a one-time inspection of the rear-view camera to ensure that replacement is not required to prevent a condition that exists relating to motor vehicle safety and compliance.
CSR-3276
Altec Industries, Inc. has been notified by Ford Motor Company that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2015 - 2019 Model Year Ford vehicles. On the affected vehicles, the rear-view camera could display a blank or distorted image on the center display screen when the vehicle is in reverse.

SIL-3191

CSR 3104
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Ford Motor Company that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety, compliance, or emissions in a vehicle you possess that is equipped with Altec equipment. On certain Expedition and Navigator model year 2018 to 2023 vehicles built March 2017 through May 2023; Super Duty model year 2019 to 2023 vehicles built March 2018 to May 2023, the supplemental owner's guide does not include an accurate description of all head restraints and instructions for adjusting or removing certain center head restraints. The inability to access this information increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
