Ford is recalling over 1 million vehicles in the United States due to a potential problem that could cause the rearview camera to fail in displaying images, which increases the risk of accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall includes certain models from 2021 to 2024, such as the Bronco, F-150, Edge, and the 2023-2024 Escape, Corsair, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600. It also affects the 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, Lincoln Nautilus, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, and 2022-2024 Navigator.
The issue stems from a software glitch that may cause the rearview camera’s image to freeze, delay, or not appear at all. To fix this, dealers will provide a free over-the-air software update for the accessory protocol interface module (APIM), which is responsible for managing the car’s infotainment system and dashboard functions.
Vehicle owners are expected to receive notification letters about the recall by June 16. A follow-up letter with instructions for the repair, which is projected to be available by the third quarter of 2025, will be sent afterward.
