Ford has issued multiple recalls covering more than two million vehicles in a single day. The largest recall affects SUVs equipped with rearview camera systems that may fail or display incorrect images. Another recall addresses a potential windshield wiper motor failure in several Ford and Lincoln models.
Major Recall Over Backup Camera Malfunction
The biggest recall involves 1.73 million SUVs due to problems with their rearview camera systems. In some vehicles, the backup camera image may not appear on the infotainment screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. In other cases, the camera image may display incorrectly or flip on the screen.
Software Module Causing Camera Failure
One part of the recall affects 849,310 vehicles and is linked to the Accessory Protocol Interface Module. This electronic module may overheat and shut down. When the system shuts down, the rearview camera feed fails to appear, which can reduce driver visibility while reversing.
Models Affected By The First Recall
The first recall includes 528,168 units of the Ford Bronco from the 2020 to 2026 model years. It also includes 321,142 units of the Ford Edge from the 2020 to 2024 model years. These vehicles may experience a complete loss of the rear camera display.
Second Camera Recall Adds More Vehicles
A separate recall covers 889,950 vehicles that may show a flipped or inverted display image on the infotainment screen. This problem can affect the entire screen interface, including camera guidelines and touchscreen buttons. The issue originates from a data signal problem in the display system.
Additional Models Impacted
The second recall includes several popular SUVs. These models include the Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, and Lincoln Corsair. Vehicles from multiple model years between 2020 and 2026 are included in this recall population.
Windshield Wiper Motor Recall
Ford also issued another recall covering 604,533 vehicles due to a possible windshield wiper motor failure. A misaligned terminal inside the motor assembly can create a weak electrical connection. Over time, this issue may cause the wipers to stop working completely.
Vehicles Included In The Wiper Recall
The windshield wiper recall affects Ford Explorer, Ford Escape, Lincoln Aviator, and Lincoln Corsair SUVs. The issue stems from a production alignment problem that may lead to electrical continuity loss within the wiper motor assembly.
Repair & Fix Timeline
Ford has not yet finalized the repair solution for the rearview camera recalls. The company is currently developing updated software to resolve the problem. Owners will be notified once the update becomes available. For the wiper motor recall, dealers will inspect and replace faulty components if necessary.
Conclusion
These recalls highlight the growing complexity of modern vehicles and their electronic systems. While mechanical reliability remains important, software and electronic modules now play a major role in vehicle performance and safety. Ford is working to address these issues and will notify affected owners once repair solutions are ready.
