Owners can download an over-the-air update to fix the issue
Ford issued a recall for 47,046 Bronco SUVs from the 2021 and 2022 model years with 8-inch center display screens because their backup cameras might still display a camera image even after the vehicle is no longer backing up. As a result, these vehicles are not in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards.
The Details
Vehicles recalled: 2021-2022 Ford Bronco SUVs with 8-inch center display.
The problem: The backup camera image may still be displayed after a backing-up event has ended, which means the vehicles are not in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111.
The fix: Ford will provide a software update to owners that they can download themselves or have a dealer install, free of charge.
How to contact the manufacturer: Ford will notify owners of the recall by mail starting Dec. 19, 2022. Owners may also contact Ford at 866-436-7332.
NHTSA campaign number: 22V825. Ford’s own number for this recall is 22C27.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
