Faulty rear-view cameras cause 462,000 Ford cars to be recalled

Ford has recalled 462,000 cars worldwide, due to possible faulty rear-view cameras.

Affected vehicles come with 360-degree cameras that display live view footage on a screen console. More than 382,000 affected vehicles are located in the United States.

According to a document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the United States, it contacted Ford in late 2021 about allegations that the rear camera displays a blue image instead of showing what is happening outside the car. The company has worked with suppliers to analyze those reports, but the company wasn’t able to confirm in the lab until late 2022, which is likely why Ford is issuing the recall now.
