Essential data on the vehicle recalls that the NHTSA reported from May 12 to May 18 are provided below. Ford Motor Company has recalled more than 1 million Ford and Lincoln cars because of a software issue that can cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not appear when the car is in reverse.

Either a dealership or via an over-the-air update, when it becomes accessible, will handle the required software updates. Letters notifying owners of the safety issues are scheduled to be dispatched on June 16; a follow-up letter will go off once the solution is ready, which the NHTSA anticipates to be available in the third quarter of 2025.
As per NHTSA, a security issue which exists in the gateway module might be the reason for the rearview camera image which was not visible. Dealers are supposed to update the security gateway module software for free of cost, additionally, notification letters are supposed to be mailed by the 19th of June.
