Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,076,138 vehicles across multiple Ford and Lincoln models from 2021 through 2025. A software error in the vehicle's accessory protocol interface module (APIM) can cause the rearview camera image to freeze, delay, or not display at all when the driver shifts into reverse. Ford and Lincoln dealers will provide a free software update to fix the issue, which may also be available as an over-the-air update for eligible vehicles.
If the rearview camera image fails to display correctly, the driver's visibility behind the vehicle is significantly reduced. This increases the likelihood of a crash, particularly when backing up in areas with pedestrians or obstacles.
APIM software update via dealer or over-the-air (OTA).
