What is being recalled
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Explorer, Lincoln Corsair, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with 360-degree cameras. The video output may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
Why it is dangerous
A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
