Ford said on Wednesday it is recalling nearly 1.45 million older vehicles in the U.S. due to faulty rear-view cameras and will extend warranty coverage on millions of other vehicles.
The announcement is the latest in a series of recalls over the issue for the second-largest U.S. automaker. Last month, Ford recalled 1.9 million vehicles worldwide due to faulty rear-view cameras.
“We at Ford aim to move past this specific problem with analog rear-view cameras,” Ford Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra said.
The new recall comes after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in October 2024 opened a probe into rear camera issues involving 36,000 2019 Ford Flex vehicles. NHTSA in January asked Ford about complaints of camera failures, prompting the automaker to investigate.
