Ford Recalls Over 1.1 Million Vehicles Due to Rearview Camera Issue

Ford Motor Company has announced a recall affecting nearly 1.1 million vehicles in the US due to software issues that may cause rearview cameras to malfunction, increasing the risk of crashes. The recall affects popular models from 2021-2024 across various Ford vehicle lines, including the Bronco, F-series trucks, Edge, and Escape. This recall stems from investigations into complaints regarding rearview camera failures, particularly in the F-150 model, which has led to a potential safety hazard. Ford is addressing the issue through over-the-air software updates to fix affected vehicles, with owners receiving notification letters by June 16th and a second letter once the remedy becomes available later this year. This recall follows a history of similar issues at Ford, which have prompted increased scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The company’s stock experienced a slight decline following the announcement.
