BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
10 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations, 146 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

An unlatched door can open while driving, increasing the risk of injury.
A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
During a crash, the windshield may detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Two 2016 FORD TRANSIT CONNECTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
