Ford is issuing a recall for over 1 million vehicles across several model lines due to a rearview camera malfunction that could increase the risk of a crash.
A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze or entirely fail to display an image when the vehicle is in reverse. The loss of rear visibility increases the chance of backup collisions.
The recall impacts 1,075,299 vehicles spanning multiple models and production years. The impacted vehicles are as follows:
- 2021-2024 Bronco: 104,394 vehicles
- 2023-2024 Corsair: 2,718
- 2021-2024 Edge: 157,506 vehicles
- 2023-2024 Escape: 17,909 vehicles
- 2022-2024 Expedition: 18,124 vehicles
- 2021-2024 F-150: 527,371 vehicles
- 2023-2024 Super Duty Trucks (F-250, F-350, F-550, and F-600): 65,385 vehicles
- 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus: 23,468 vehicles
- 2021-2023 Mach-E: 8,949 vehicles
- 2024 Mustang: 4,988 vehicles
- 2022-2024 Navigator: 3,612 vehicles
- 2024 Ranger: 3,907 vehicles
- 2022-2025 Transit: 136,968 vehicles
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerted Ford about complaints from F-150 owners. The agency received 37 vehicle owner questionnaires, 15 of which confirmed either intermittent or persistent malfunctioning rearview cameras. In April, Ford’s engineering team identified the root cause as a software malfunction.
Currently, Ford is unaware of any injuries related to the recall. However, there was one minor crash linked to the issue, resulting in property damage only.
Ford will issue a free software update through dealerships or an over-the-air (OTA) update. The automaker will begin sending letters notifying vehicle owners starting June 16. A second letter will follow once the OTA fix is ready.
