Addressing Safety Concerns

This isn’t the first round of significant recalls that Ford has faced. The company previously had recalls that reached nearly 4.8 million vehicles in 2024. For these latest issues, correcting previously “incorrect repairs” was identified as crucial to addressing persistent safety risks. The recall encompasses models with problematic camera displays that affect rear visibility, which can elevate crash risks.

In addition, a recall involving trailer brake software impacts 10,626 vehicles, raising concerns of braking performance degradation. Ford aims to resolve these issues to prevent the high frequency of recalls repeating and is advising vehicle owners to receive a free software update or module recalibration at their dealerships.

Ford’s Plan To Fix Recalls

Ford plans to send notification letters to affected owners near the end of April, allowing enough time for consumers to take necessary actions. Ford customer service can be reached at 1-866-436-7332 for those who have any questions about the recalls.
