Ford recalls 1.74 million vehicles in the US: Here's why
Ford is recalling 1.74 million cars and SUVs in the US because of rearview camera problems that could make reversing tricky and raise accident risks.
The recall covers several models and was accompanied by NHTSA notices warning of the safety concerns.
Bronco and Edge recall details
The first recall hits Bronco (2021-2026) and Edge (2021-2024) models, about 850,000 vehicles.
Their Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) may overheat and shut down, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
No crashes or injuries have happened so far, but Ford's offering a free software fix, either over-the-air or at dealerships.
Other recalled models and their issues
Nearly 900,000 Escape (2020-22), Lincoln Corsair (2020-22), Aviator (2020-24), and Explorer (2020-24) vehicles are also recalled because their rearview display may show a flipped or inverted image.
Again, no accidents reported yet, but Ford is still working on a solution.
Letters will be sent out soon
Letters for the Bronco and Edge recall will begin March 30, 2026; interim owner-notification letters for the Escape/Corsair/Aviator/Explorer recall will be mailed in the coming months.
You can also check your vehicle status using your VIN on the NHTSA website or Ford's lookup tool, or just call 1-866-436-7332 for details.
