Ford recalls 200K vehicles for backup camera display fault
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Ford Motor Co. has recalled 200,000 vehicles for backup camera display issues, including a blank screen or image retention after shifting out of reverse, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recalled Ford models include the Transit Connect, F-150, Explorer, Bronco Sport, Maverick Ranger, Mustang, Expedition, EcoSport, Escape Fusion Edge, F-250 Super Duty and Corsair. Lincoln models include the Continental, Navigator, Nautilus and Aviator. The model year range of each vehicle varies, but all are between 2018 and 2024. Dealers will update the rearview camera software on the vehicles, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed starting July 28. The backup camera fault can reduce the driver's view of their surroundings when backing up, increasing the risk of a crash. The report also cites the elevated safety risk due to driver distraction if the camera image remains frozen on the display after shifting out of reverse. According to the recall report, an error in the SYNC 3 software for the infotainment system can cause 'system instability concerns and/or a failure to preserve certain settings across ignition cycles,' which may cause the camera display issues. The fault may cause interference with the vehicles' software log file compression routines, which can use up all of the free memory space of the SYNC Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), the report states. Once all of the module's memory is consumed, the system is no longer able to write new files to the APIM, leading to the camera display faults. Other non-safety related symptoms may also be noticed by customers, including incorrect language settings and/or potential inability to receive software updates. The NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigations notified Ford on Jan. 17 it had received several vehicle owner questionnaires alleging rear-view camera image display problems on 2021-2023 Bronco Sport models. On March 27, the issue was escalated to Ford's Critical Concern Review Group for further review. From April through May, Ford's CCRG reviewed warranty data for all rearview camera system components of the vehicles. The investigation identified an increase in rearview camera image complaints for vehicles produced from March 2023 through November 2023. These production dates coincided with the introduction of a specific SYNC 3 software release, according to the recall report. Ford also reviewed the vehicle owner questionnaires received by the NHTSA, as well as service records related to camera display issues. The investigation discovered that most of these vehicles were successfully repaired with a previous SYNC 3 software update, leading Ford's investigators to suspect that the prior software release was the root cause. A SYNC 3 software update was introduced into production in December 2023 and to the field in August 2024 as part of a customer satisfaction field service action issued on July 22, 2024, to update SYNC software in Ford vehicles. This update corrected the display issues in the vehicles that received it. Ford's In-Vehicle Infotainment team replicated the condition through its own tests, leading the automaker to approve the recall on June 20. The company estimates that almost all of the recalled vehicles have the faulty software. Ford is aware of 1,326 warranty claims potentially related to this condition received between June 2023 and May 2025, which also includes claims that were previously repaired under its customer satisfaction field service action launched in July 2024. Customers will be instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have a SYNC 3 software flash update performed. Ford has now issued 88 recalls since Jan. 1, extending to over 4.4 million vehicles, according to NHTSA data. It's the highest number of recalls of any automaker. In June alone, the automaker issued 20 separate recalls for over 868,000 vehicles. In May, Ford issued a recall for over 1 million vehicles for similar backup camera display issues, which was also related to APIM software. Among the recalled models were the 2021-2024 Bronco, Ranger and Expedition and F-Series pickups. A second recall was also issued in May for 160,000 Ford Super Duty pickups and SUVs, which was also for backup camera display faults due to faulty printed circuit board connectors.

Ford recalls 850,000 vehicles over faulty fuel pumps
July 11 (UPI) --Ford Motor Co. has recalled 850,000 trucks, SUVs and cars, including the popular F-150 pickup and the S550 Mustang, due to issues with the vehicles' fuel pumps, the company announced. The recall covers models produced between 2021 and 2023 and includes truck models all the way up to the F-550 and various sport utility vehicles, such as the Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, Expedition and Navigator produced for the U.S. market. The vehicles covered in the recall all have Phinia-supplied fuel pumps that could fail unexpectedly, which can cause the vehicle to stall while in operation and increase the risk for a crash, the company said. Ford began investigating the fuel pump issue in the fall of 2022 after an unusual number of warranty claims and customer complaints. The investigation determined that the fuel pump openings were becoming clogged and not providing enough fuel to the engine. The fuel pumps in question were installed in vehicles between July 2021 and December 2022. The company has said it is working on a replacement part, adding that owners and lessees would be notified of the recall by July 18. Ford has said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the faulty fuel pumps. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Ford F-150 pickup cops another stop-sale in Australia
Ford Australia has issued a stop-sale on the F-150full-size pickup, pausing both new sales and the delivery of already ordered vehicles from customers. There has been no recall, and CarExpert understands the stop-sale is not a safety issue, with no directive to stop driving current vehicles like a January 2024 recall on the F-150. "Ensuring we deliver quality vehicles to our customers is our number one priority," a Ford Australia spokesperson told CarExpert. "Accordingly, a hold was placed on shipment of re-manufactured RHD F-150s while we worked through some internal requirements. We expect to be able to provide an update to our dealers by the end of July. "We sincerely apologise to impacted customers for the delay with delivering their vehicle, and thank them for their patience." Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Stop-sales are typically called when there's a legal compliance or safety issue with a vehicle – like, for example, the F-150's May 2024 stop-sale which was due to exterior lighting not being compliant with Australian Design Rules (ADRs). After delivering 52 F-150s in April, Ford delivered just 28 in May and only 11 in June. In stark contrast, rival Ram delivered 279 1500s in June, while Chevrolet delivered 258 Silverado 1500s and Toyota delivered 46 Tundras – all of which have higher list prices than the iconic Ford, which starts at $106,950 before on-roads for the MY23 XLT SWB model. The MY24 version in the same model grade but with the extended LWB body is $107,945 before on-roads. Ford Australia has carried on with the MY23 and MY24 F-150 – with stocks of both still at local dealers – with the local arrival of the MY25 facelift offered in the US since September 2023 repeatedly delayed. Having moved timing from the final quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, Ford Australia revised timing of the updated F-150 yet again to mid-2025 – and hasn't issued any update since. The updated lineup is now expected to arrive during the second half of 2025, and gain a new flagship Platinum model grade, in addition to the XLT and Lariat versions currently on sale here. The F-150 is the only full-size pickup offered in Australia to be converted by RMA in Melbourne, with the Silverado, Ram and Tundra all converted by crosstown operation Walkinshaw Automotive. A total of seven vehicle recalls have been issued for the F-150 since its on-sale in Australia early 2023. The full-size pickup's 4500kg braked towing rating is set to be matched by the smaller Ranger Super Duty, landing in showrooms in 2026 priced from $82,990 before on-road costs.
