Ford has issued two more recalls for SUVs with faulty backup cameras that may not properly display an image when a vehicle is in Reverse.
The recalled SUVs are the:
• 2020-2022 Ford Escape
• 2020-2024 Ford Explorer
• 2021-2026 Ford Bronco
• 2021-2024 Ford Edge
• 2020-2024 Lincoln Aviator
• 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair
In some vehicles, the image may flip or invert, causing a confusing perspective for the driver. In others, the image may not display at all. Neither situation has caused any crashes or injuries, according to the automaker.
A fix is not yet available for this problem, but Ford says it’s working on software updates that will become available to owners, free of charge. The automaker will send two notifications, one to let owners know about the recall and another when a fix is available.
This recall follows several recent ones for similar problems that have affected millions of Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
