Ford Motor Company: Bronco Rearview Camera Malfunction Recalled for Distraction Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford is recalling approximately 47,046 model year 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles equipped with 8-inch screen displays and rearview camera systems. The defect involves the rearview camera image remaining on the screen after the driver has shifted out of reverse and finished backing up, which fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for rear visibility. To fix this, Ford will provide a free software update for the SYNC module that corrects the camera's behavior.

Risk

If the rearview camera image continues to be displayed while the vehicle is moving forward, it can distract the driver. This distraction reduces the driver's focus on the road ahead, increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's infotainment screen size to confirm if it is an 8-inch display; only 2021-2022 Bronco models with this specific screen and a rearview camera are included in this recall.
  2. Look for Ford's internal recall identification number 22C27 regarding this specific rearview camera malfunction.
  3. Verify if your vehicle has already received an over-the-air (OTA) software update for the SYNC module, which may resolve the issue automatically without a dealer visit.
  4. If your vehicle has not been updated via OTA, contact any authorized Ford dealer to schedule a free SYNC module software update.
  5. For additional information or questions about the remedy, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
  6. Call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for further assistance.
