Ford is recalling nearly 400,000 vehicles because their 360-degree camera may not work properly.
The recall involves 2020-2023 Explorers, Lincoln Aviators and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsairs.
Ford says the video output on the camera may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
“Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver’s rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash,” Ford notes.
The automaker says it’s aware of 17 reported minor accidents that may be related to the faulty video output, which causes a blue screen. No injuries have been reported.
Owners should receive letters in February to take their vehicles in to be serviced. Dealers will update the necessary software for free, Ford states.
