The recall affects select models from 2021 to 2024, including the Bronco, F-150, and Edge, as well as the 2023-2024 Escape, Corsair, and F-series trucks from F-250 to F-600.
Other impacted models include the 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, Lincoln Nautilus, 2024 Ranger and Mustang, and the 2022-2024 Navigator, according to a report Ford submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Wednesday.
NHTSA said the issue could cause the rear camera feed to freeze, delay, or fail to display entirely.
Ford has linked the issue to a minor crash that caused property damage. The automaker began investigating after NHTSA raised concerns in January about over 30 complaints related to F-150 camera failures from model years 2021-2023.
In April, Ford engineers were able to replicate the malfunction and identified specific software versions as the root cause.
To fix the problem, Ford plans to update the vehicle software remotely through over-the-air updates. The affected software controls the vehicle’s infotainment system, including apps and navigation displays.
Owners will receive initial notifications about the defect by June 16, followed by a second notice when the fix becomes available later in the year.
Ford also issued two separate recalls in April covering around 289,000 vehicles for similar camera problems, in which rearview cameras will be replaced.
Previously, in November, Ford agreed to pay a $165 million civil fine after an NHTSA probe found the company delayed recalling vehicles with faulty rear cameras.
That investigation began in August 2021 after Ford’s initial 2020 recall of 620,000 vehicles, which was later expanded in 2022 and again in March 2025 to include another 24,000 vehicles.
