rmc523 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Ford decided its recall count for the year was too low.......but at least it's nothing crazy. Ford Recalls Over 1 Million Vehicles Over Rearview Camera Issue Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2021-2024 Ford Bronco, Ford F-150, 2021-2024 Ford Edge, 2023-2024 Ford Escape, Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, 2022-2024 Ford Expedition, 2022-2025 Ford Transit, 2021-2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E, 2024 Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2022-2024 Lincoln Navigator, and 2023-2024 Lincoln Corsair models due to an issue with the rearview camera. The defect: in affected vehicles, a software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse. Number of vehicles affected: 1,075,299 I actually just got this one in the mail yesterday.....my notice said they don't have a solution yet and they'll let me/us know when they do.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, there are three real time mirrors for back up. Pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 I don't know what's worse, the sheer number of vehicles recalled, or the recalls to fix the previous recalls. 2021-2022 Ford Bronco Recalled Over Botched Rearview Camera Fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe771476 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Are rear view cameras a requirement? Why do they offer them? A Federal safety law? I don't need them; I have eyes and mirrors.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till you accidently run over someone in your blind spot-which was one of the driving forces with this I recall a story where someone backed out of their garage and ran over their daughter who was in the driveway sunbathing- Rear view cameras cover the area directly under your license plate or bumper area, where rear view mirror or side mirrors have a blind spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 To add, I believe one story was from a well known football player. All these items are to "assist" not to "rely" on, yes there are traditional ways we always use, but never hurts to have an extra set of eyes.

Yeah I get it, but checking behind my car and looking around for kids always worked. Yeah I know, things can change in 5 seconds. Okay, what about seat warmers? Why do we even need them? Just a fluff. Do car mfrs. have to recall cars if there's a problem with them? Does a warning light appear on the dash for something that trivial and unnecessary? Does it affect the computer? It shouldn't, but who knows these days. I wish I had my 67 Mustang. No nonsense, I could do any repair on it myself, no engine or oil/maintenance required lights, no emission crap. My 1985 Ford had a fender-mounted control module (Standard ignition part # was LX203) that I had to change once or twice in 15 years and that was it! No computer analysis was needed. If the car didn't start it was the coil, module or fuel pump. All easily replaced. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple of days ago, in a neighboring suburb, a 5 year old boy was kit & killed in his driveway, by a family member. Details are very limited, but I sure hope it wasn't by a vehicle involved in this recall. HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
