DETROIT -- Ford is recalling an estimated 277,000 cars and trucks thanks to an issue with the rear view camera lens which can get cloudy and reduce visibility for the driver, according to the Associated Press. The recall covers 2017 through 2020 model years of the F-250, 350 and 450 trucks along with Lincoln Continental.

The impacted vehicles have a 360-degree camera system. The company says the issue revolves around the anti-reflective lens on the cameras which can degrade over time and in turn causes a cloudy image. Ford reports it has received more than 8,800 warranty reports in the U.S. due to the issue.

The cameras will be replaced by dealerships at no cost to owners. Impacted owners will be notified by mail starting on Sept. 12.
