Ford Motor has announced a broad recall of 1,448,655 vehicles in the United States over a potential rearview camera defect that could distort the image or cause it to disappear when Reverse is selected, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).The action covers the Explorer, Escape, Mustang, Fiesta, Flex, and select Lincoln models. The issue lies in the camera module, where a software glitch or a power interruption may lead to a temporary loss or distortion of the picture on the screen.Regulators note that the defect raises the risk of incidents during parking and backing up, so Ford will carry out free diagnostics and replace faulty modules at its dealerships. Owners will receive notifications with instructions on how to book service.The company has not reported any crashes linked to the problem and said it is recalling the vehicles as a precaution. Acting before incidents are documented points to a safety-first approach.This is one of Ford’s largest service campaigns in recent years and underscores how much modern cars rely on camera systems and electronic assistants. As drivers have come to depend on those views as naturally as mirrors, even a momentary blank screen is more than an inconvenience, and the breadth of affected nameplates shows how widely these modules are used across the lineup.
