Trending Now - Ford Recalls 1.74 Million Vehicles for Rearview Camera Problems

WHO:

Ford Motor Company

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

WHAT:

Ford has issued two recalls affecting nearly 1.74 million vehicles in the U.S.

The recalls cover 849,310 Ford Broncos and Ford Edges.

The recalls also cover 889,950 Ford Escapes, Lincoln Corsairs, Lincoln Aviators, and Lincoln Explorers.

Ford estimates that all of these vehicles have defects.

NHTSA documents indicate that Ford is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to the recalls.

WHERE:

United States

WHEN:

The recalls were announced in March 2026.

Owner-notification letters will be mailed out at the end of March 2026.

Interim letters to notify owners of safety risks are set to be mailed out in the coming months.

WHY:

The recalls are due to software issues that impact the vehicles’ rearview camera displays, which could increase crash risks.

An internal component inside the infotainment system may overheat and shut down, preventing the rearview image from displaying when drivers are in reverse.

Some vehicles may show a flipped or inverted rearview image.

HOW:

Ford is offering a free software update for the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) for impacted Bronco and Edge owners.

The fix will be available either at a dealer or through an “over-the-air” update.

A remedy is still under development for the recall impacting the Escapes, Corsairs, Aviators, and Explorers.
