Ford recalls over 1.4 million cars. Here's a full list of impacted models
Ford is recalling over 1.4 million vehicles due to rear-view camera issues that may cause distorted images or blackouts, increasing crash risks.
Ford Motor Company is recalling over one million cars in the United States following a serious safety issue raised by regulators regarding rear-view cameras.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted the recall applies to 1,456,417 vehicles, more than 50 models and model years.
The problem? Cameras that may suddenly stop working or display distorted images, creating a serious risk for backover accidents.
Rear-view cameras are now a common service in cars, as federal regulators required them in 2018 to stop fatal backover crashes.
The cameras, in some cases, project warped or inverted images. In others, the display goes completely blank. NHTSA warned that this defect increases the likelihood of crashes and injuries while reversing.
