Ford Motor Co. is recalling over 200,000 vehicles due to a software issue that can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, thereby raising the risk of accidents and injuries.
The automaker informed U.S. highway safety officials that the camera might show a blank screen or the image might stay on the display after reversing is complete, potentially causing a distraction.
Dealerships will eventually update the camera software free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by July 28.
