Ford Recalls Over 250,000 SUVs in the U.S. After Software Glitch Disables Key Safety Systems
The recall affects Ford and Lincoln SUVs after a software issue disrupted cameras and driver-assistance systems.
Ford Motor Company is recalling 254,640 crossovers and SUVs in the United States after a software malfunction was discovered in the vehicles’ onboard systems.
The recall was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
According to regulators, the issue is linked to faulty software that may cause the rearview camera display to stop working. The glitch can also disable several advanced driver-assistance features, including forward collision warning, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring.
Several popular models are affected, including the Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator.
The latter three vehicles are produced under Lincoln, which operates as part of Ford Motor Company.
Ford says the fix will involve a software update, which can be installed either at dealerships or delivered remotely through an over-the-air (OTA) update provided by the manufacturer.
