Ford and its Lincoln luxury division have recalled 391 midsize SUVs because their rearview cameras can fail to display an image.
Recalled models include some, but not all, examples of the:
- 2025 Ford Explorer
- 2025 Lincoln Aviator
Ford tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that certain SUVs may lose their rearview camera image if they exceed ten mph in reverse. Other Explorers and Aviators received a software update that prevented the problem, but the company may have shipped a handful to customers with pre-production software.
The company knows of no accidents or injuries related to the problem, which inspectors found at the factory.
The company plans to fix the issue through an over-the-air software update, so owners will not need to bring their vehicles into a dealership for repair. However, Ford says owners are welcome to have the update completed at a dealership if they prefer.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Manufacturers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. Automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, but they rarely get them all. Millions of cars on American roads need free recall repairs. Check the easy VIN tool at our recall center to determine if your car is one of them.
