Ford recalling 200,000 cars and trucks to fix rearview cameras
Automakers Ford, Nissan, and Honda have issued new safety recalls this week, covering hundreds of thousands of vehicles across various models and years. The recalls address serious defects ranging from malfunctioning rearview cameras to potential engine failures and faulty airbags.
Massive Ford Recall Over Rearview Camera Glitch
Ford has launched the largest recall of the week, affecting over 200,000 vehicles due to a software error that can disrupt the rearview camera display. In some cases, the camera may show a blank image while reversing, reducing the drivers view and increasing the risk of a crash. In other cases, the camera image might remain on the screen even after the car shifts out of reverse, creating a potential distraction.
Affected vehicles span numerous Ford and Lincoln models, including:
-
Ford Bronco Sport (2021-2024)
-
Ford Escape (2020-2022)
-
Ford Explorer (2020-2024)
-
Ford F-150 (2019-2020)
-
Ford Mustang (2019-2023)
-
Lincoln Aviator (2020-2023)
-
Lincoln Navigator (2020-2021)
-
and several others from model years 2018 through 2024.
Ford dealers will update the rearview camera software free of charge. Owners should expect notification letters starting July 28, 2025. For assistance, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing recall number 25S72.

Only 171 vehicles are affected. Dealers will replace the faulty airbags free of charge. Owners should receive notification letters starting August 11, 2025, followed by a second letter when repairs are available. For questions, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and refer to recall 25S51.
