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.
