Why are the Ford models being recalled?

The Ford models are being recalled due to a software glitch that could cause the rearview camera image to glitch, according to the notice from the NHTSA.

“A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse,” the NHTSA said.

This glitch can increase the risk of a crash because of low visibility.

What should you do if you have one of the recalled Ford vehicles?

Owners can bring their affected Ford or Lincoln vehicles to their local dealership for a software update, which can also be done over the air.

Vehicle owners can expect notification letters from Ford by June 16 about the rearview camera problem.

Owners will get a second letter once the fix is available between July and September.

Owners with questions can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332; Ford’s number for this recall is 25S49.
