Ford has recalled 12,219 Bronco SUVs from model years 2021-2022 because their backup cameras may not turn off when drivers shift out of reverse.
Ford recalled more than 47,000 Broncos in 2022 due to the same issue. Dealers fixed most of them with a software update. However, the company has since learned that the tool it used to upload software patches could occasionally fail but report success.
They have a new software tool that, Ford says, verifies the upload. The company has identified which cars received an incomplete fix last time.
So, dealers will fix the problem by uploading the same software package, successfully this time.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Automakers recall many cars, sometimes more than once. Manufacturers try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some may fall through the system’s cracks, leaving some of us unknowingly driving recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your car has any outstanding recalls.
