The affected vehicles include the 2020-2023 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, as well as the 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair. Despite Ford's efforts to rectify the problem in 2021 and 2023, the recent attempt to fix the fault by updating the image processing module software proved unsuccessful.
Previously, Ford reported 17 minor crashes and over 2,100 warranty claims resulting from the rearview camera's failure to display an image due to the malfunctioning 360-degree camera. Following the implementation of the recall fix, Ford has received 29 additional claims of vehicles experiencing malfunctioning screens. Additionally, there have been 250 warranty reports and one further minor accident linked to this issue.
To address the ongoing camera troubles, Ford is collaborating with its suppliers to identify the root cause and provide a prompt and effective solution. Starting from June 26, the company will begin notifying vehicle owners through official letters.
Ford's commitment to improving its quality control processes comes in the wake of being the automaker with the highest number of recalls affecting a significant number of vehicles in 2022. The substantial costs incurred by warranty repairs last year further emphasize the urgency to address these issues promptly.
