Ford’s Extensive Recall Details

The recalls impact models including the Ford F-250, Explorer, Edge, Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Lincoln models. Problems involve recurring rearview camera functionality and control module defects. Ford reported that previously repaired vehicles under specific National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall numbers have shown faults, prompting this new wave of recalls. Ford will be sending out notices to consumers on April 24, with details on correcting these errors.

Notably, the largest recall affects 2020-2023 models of the Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Corsair, and Ford Explorer. These 49,399 units require attention due to rearview camera display issues which could result in crash hazards. Simultaneously, the 2021-2022 Ford Edge models face similar problems, while 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick models confront issues with body and powertrain control modules.

Another recall impacting 10,627 Ford pickup trucks and SUVs was also reported by The Car Connection this week. The recall involves a trailer-brake software issue that also may not have been properly repaired in a past recall. Notices about this recall are reportedly expected to go out on April 14.

Broader Context and Expectations

These recalls come after Ford reportedly issued a total of 67 recalls in 2024, impacting around 4.8 vehicles. This is but a fraction of the overall vehicle recalls reported last year: over 27 million. While this is a decrease from 2023, safety in the automotive industry continues to be a concern.

Ford is offering free software updates or recalibration of modules at dealerships in order to correct the errors with its vehicles. Owners can query more information through Ford’s customer service (1-866-436-7332) or the NHTSA recall database.
