Ford has issued a series of prominent recalls in 2025. In August 2025 alone, the auto company issued five recalls that totaled 1.3 million vehicles.
The recalls affected multiple models and involved a variety of issues and equipment, from tail lights to airbags.
Now, Ford has announced yet another recall, and this one affects nearly 1.5 million vehicles.
The Latest Ford Recall Is Due to a ‘Blank or Distorted Rearview Camera Image’
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that the recall was initiated on Sept. 4, 2025, due to a “blank or distorted rearview camera image.”
“A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” according to NHTSA.
