Ford Motor Co. has announced a recall of more than 200,000 vehicles due to a software defect that can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, increasing the risk of crashes and potential injuries.
The defect, as reported by Ford to US highway safety regulators, can manifest in two ways: the camera may display a blank image, rendering it ineffective, or the image could remain on the display even after the driver has finished backing up, creating a dangerous distraction. Both scenarios compromise driver awareness and safety.
