NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS filed February 9, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2174958 (ODI reference 11716705) concerns a 2014 FORD EXPLORER and was filed on February 9, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 2025. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: warnings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EXPLORER cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: warnings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 FORD EXPLORER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING AT ISSUE WITH THE REVERSE CAMERA SINCE THE BEGINING OF LAST YEAR. IT STARTED AS BEING DISTORTED TO FULLY NOT TURNING ON AT ALL WHEN IN REVERSE.
