Ford is recalling over a million ‘defective' cars in just HOURS due to software glitch that increases risk of crash
Here's what drivers need to know HIT THE BRAKES Ford is recalling over a million 'defective' cars in just HOURS due to software glitch that increases risk of crash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORD is recalling more than a million vehicles after discovering a software glitch that could increase the risk of a crash while reversing. The recall affects drivers across the UK and worldwide, as the problem involves rear view cameras freezing or failing to display properly when the vehicle is put into reverse.

Ford has acknowledged the issue, stating it has no reports of injuries linked to the glitch. However, the carmaker said it is 'aware of one allegation of a minor crash resulting in property damage'. A massive 1,075,299 vehicles are being recalled in total. Reports from Motortrend suggest Ford estimates every single one of the affected units is defective. The problem stems from a camera software issue that causes backup images to delay, freeze, or disappear entirely. That means drivers may not be able to see what's behind them when reversing — especially dangerous in tight spaces or busy areas. Ford will carry out the fix through a software update, which can be done remotely. This over-the-air (OTA) solution means drivers won't need to take their cars into a dealership unless they choose to. Owners of the affected models will begin receiving official recall notices in the post between 16 and 20 June 2025. A second letter will follow later in the year once the software fix is fully available and ready to install. The manufacturer says the update will be provided free of charge, whether installed remotely or at an authorised Ford service centre. Ford has not released a full list of affected models yet, but it's believed a wide range of popular cars and SUVs are included in the recall. It marks another major blow for the car giant, which has already announced several recalls this year. Which models are being recalled? 2022–2024 Lincoln Navigator 2021–2023 Lincoln MKX 2023–2024 Lincoln Corsair 2024–2024 Ford Mustang 2023–2024 Ford Super Duty (F250, F350, F450, F550, F600) 2021–2024 Ford F-150 2024–2024 Ford Ranger 2021–2023 Ford Mach-E 2022–2025 Ford Transit 2022–2024 Ford Expedition 2023–2024 Ford Escape 2021–2024 Ford Edge 2021–2024 Ford Bronco In May, more than 270,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles were recalled due to potential brake system faults. And back in February, around 240,000 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs were pulled over issues with faulty seat belt components. Motorists who think their vehicle might be affected can check Ford's official website or contact customer service for further guidance. Drivers are being urged to stay alert for the recall notice and ensure the update is completed as soon as it's available, to avoid any risk while on the road.
