Defect

Mickey Truck Bodies, Inc. (Mickey Truck Bodies) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford F-750 based vehicles equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager monitors used to display the back-up camera image. The affected monitors may revert back to the factory default settings which may cause the camera image to be reversed.

Consequence

The driver may inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Mickey Truck Bodies will work with ASA Electronics to notify owners, and provide a remedy to keep the image from reversing, free of charge. The recall began May 9, 2019. Owners may contact ASA Electronics customer service at 1-800-384-4400 or Mickey Truck Bodies at 1-336-882-6806.
