Ford is calling 2021 and 2022 Ford Edge owners due to a faulty backup camera system. Such a failure can display distorted images and increase the risk of an accident if the driver reverses.

Ford is recalling 78,376 2021 2022 and XNUMX Edge vehicles because their images may display a blank or severely distorted image, making it difficult for the vehicle's driver to see what's behind them and increasing the likelihood of a crash.

What caused the problem

This issue appears to be software related and therefore the fix is quite simple and only requires a free over the air software update. It's unclear if this recall is related to a similar backup camera recall that Ford was under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last fall.

It will be from April when Ford starts to solve it

Ford expects to begin notifying owners of affected vehicles by mail around April 25th. If you believe your vehicle is eligible for a recall and have questions, you may contact Ford Customer Service at 1-866-436-7332 with recall number 22S14.
