Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 1 million vehicles across multiple models due to a software glitch that could cause the rearview camera to malfunction, increasing the risk of an accident.
According to a notice filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the camera image may freeze, delay, or fail to display when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The defect poses a serious safety risk, especially when drivers rely on the rearview feed to maneuver.
Ford says the issue will be resolved either at dealerships or through an over-the-air (OTA) software update. A preliminary safety notification will be sent to affected vehicle owners starting June 16. A follow-up letter with details on the update is expected in the third quarter of 2025.
The recall affects 1,075,299 vehicles from a wide range of models, including:
2021–2024 Bronco
2021–2024 Edge
2023–2024 Escape
2021–2024 F-150
