The defect
Chinook Motor Coach, LLC. (Chinook) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Bayside motorhomes. The rearview camera, or 360-degree view camera if equipped, may not display a rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
The risk
Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Ford dealers will replace the rearview camera, and update the software and wiring as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notifications explaining the safety risk were mailed November 22, 2023. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 2nd Quarter 2024. Owners may contact Chinook customer service at 1-574-584-3756.
