| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine cover varies by body style, parking sensors and tow bar, so order it against your VIN |
| Fitment notes | Match body style, facelift date and the holes for parking sensors or exhaust trims; covers come primed and need painting to your paint code before fitting. |
Before Assuming a Genuine Camera Failure, Check This First — Ford B-Max Rear Bumper
If your Ford B-Max's reversing camera has stopped displaying an image when you select reverse, it's genuinely worth working through the simple, common causes before assuming the camera itself has failed. Start with the dedicated fuse for the camera circuit — a blown fuse is a straightforward, inexpensive fix. Next, check that the reverse light switch is functioning correctly, since many camera systems are wired to activate directly from the reverse light circuit; if the reverse lights themselves aren't illuminating, that's your actual starting point rather than the camera. Finally, inspect the wiring harness and connectors near the tailgate for damage or a connection that's come loose — this area sees repeated flexing every time the tailgate opens and closes, and a connector working itself loose over time is a genuinely common, simple cause.
Ford B-Max Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel
The Ford B-Max's rear bumper is rarely just a bumper — parking sensors, a reversing camera housing, and sometimes exhaust trim finishers are commonly built into it, so even minor kerb damage can turn a simple swap into a bigger job.

Ford B-Max Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the B-Max often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.
