More than 1 million Ford vehicles will need to be repaired after being recalled over rearview camera issues.
A total of about 1.7 million cars manufactured by Ford were recalled due to two different rearview camera issues, according to two recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published on March 3.
In one recall notice, Ford said the rearview cameras in certain Bronco and Edge vehicles may not display while in reverse gear. In the other notice, some Ford Escape and Explorer, as well as Lincoln Corsair and Aviator, vehicles may display inverted images on their rearview cameras.
In both cases, the vehicles’ rearview camera issues may affect the driver’s view and ability to see what’s behind the car, increasing the risk of a crash.
Is your car included in the Ford recalls? Here’s how to check.
Which Ford cars are being recalled?
The recall notice about issues displaying the rearview camera applies to 2021-2026 Ford Bronco and 2021-2024 Ford Edge vehicles.
The other recall notice, which has to do with the inverted rearview camera images, applies to the following cars:
- Ford Escape model years 2020-2022
- Ford Explorer model years 2020-2024
- Lincoln Aviator model years 2020-2024

What to do if your car has been recalled
For both recalls, Ford said it is working to provide software to repair the rearview camera issues. When the software becomes available, Ford will notify owners via mail to schedule a free repair.
Ford plans to mail Bronco and Edge owners impacted by the recall beginning March 30. For the recall impacting some Ford Escape and Explorer, as well as Lincoln Aviator and Corsair, vehicles, Ford expects to mail notification letters beginning April 17.
How to check if your call is recalled
Both the NHTSA recall database and USA TODAY’s recall database for car and motor vehicle recalls are regularly updated with the latest status on vehicles, car parts or car accessories.
To check if your car has been affected, car owners can either search their car’s make or model in USA TODAY’s recall database or look it up on NHTSA’s website.
The NHTSA website also has a feature that allows owners to search recalls directly using their vehicle’s license plate number or vehicle identification number (VIN). The site also provides information about recalled car seats, tires and other equipment.
