Ford Motor Company is recalling 1.74 million vehicles that may be affected by a rearview camera malfunction.

A March 6 notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates that 889,950 2020–2022 Escape and Lincoln Corsair models, as well as 2020–2024 Lincoln Aviators and Explorers, may have rearview cameras that flip or invert images when the car is placed in reverse, adding to the risk of an accident.

Another notice posted on the same day shows some 849,310 2021–2026 Broncos and 2021–2024 Edge vehicles may be experiencing problems with rearview cameras that fail to display any image, reducing the driver’s view behind the vehicle and increasing the possibility of an accident.

According to Ford, the lack of display could be caused by overheating of the accessory protocol interface module (APIM), which can prevent the rearview image from displaying.

The recall number for the Escape, Lincoln, and Explorer models is 26C11 and owners may contact Ford customer services at 1-866-436-7332. Notification letters are expected to be mailed by April 17 and vehicle identification numbers (VINs) involved with this recall are currently searchable on the NHTSA.gov website.

Dealers will make necessary repairs or replacements free of charge.

Bronco and Edge vehicle owners should use the recall number 26S09 when contacting Ford’s customer service department VINs involved in the recall are also searchable on the NHTSA.gov website. Letters notifying owners are expected to be mailed by March 30.

Repairs will be made free of charge. The APIM software can be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update. The automaker noted that under some conditions, the APIM can reach temperatures of 105 degrees, which automatically initiates a temporary thermal shutdown to protect the electronic components.

This latest incident comes on the heels of a March 5 recall of 604,533 Ford and Lincoln models with manufacturing issues that could prevent windshield wipers from working properly.

An NHTSA report states that the cover terminal in an affected vehicle’s front windshield wiper motor may have been misaligned during assembly. A loss of windshield wipers during rain or snow could present an accident risk.

That recall involved 328,341 Explorers and 210,349 Escape sport utility vehicle (SUV) models from 2020-2022, as well as 32,257 Lincoln Aviators and 33,586 Lincoln Corsair SUVs.

The automaker had two significant recalls in late February. The first involved over 4.3 million vehicles with trailer control software issues that could cause trailer brakes to stop functioning. When a trailer is connected, drivers could notice that the trailer brake lights and turn signal indicators fail to illuminate, which could result in an accident.

To fix the issue, Ford will release an over-the-air software update for most affected vehicles beginning on March 17.

The second recall included over 400,000 vehicles with possible rear suspension toe link fractures, which could also present an accident risk.

A rear toe link connects the rear wheel knuckle to the chassis to control the rear wheel’s angle and adds stability to the vehicle, preventing uneven tire wear. If the rear toe link becomes worn or damaged, it can affect the wheel alignment.
