In its quest to improve quality, Ford has been rather upfront that it will be recalling many of its vehicles from the past decade. The company is living up to that promise yet again with two separate recall campaigns, announced on the same day but affecting two distinct problems that have to do with the reversing camera display. The total number of affected vehicles includes 889,950 examples of the Ford Escape and Explorer and the Lincoln Corsair and Aviator, plus another 849,310 Bronco and Edge SUVs, for a total of 1,739,260 vehicles. Software Problems For The Bronco And Edge Affecting the 2021–2024 Ford Edge and the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco is an electronic issue with the accessory protocol interface module (APIM), which acts as an all-encompassing driver for the Blue Oval's infotainment, including the touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and yes, the rear camera. In the aforementioned SUVs, the APIM can overheat and shut down in certain scenarios, which makes the touchscreen go black.FordFord is working on a remedy for the problem right now and is sending notification letters to owners starting March 30 to inform them of the issue, which will hopefully keep people from relying too much on the reversing camera. The company expects to have a solution figured out soon, at which point it will issue a simple software update that can be downloaded over the air on some vehicles. Others will need to be brought into the dealer for the update, but it should be a quick fix once the solution is determined. Through The Mirror Glass Ford also issued a recall for the 2020–2022 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair, as well as the 2020–2024 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator. If these vehicles are turned off and then restarted in quick succession, one of the circuit boards for the infotainment system sends incorrect data to the screen controller, leading to flipped or inverted graphics on the touchscreen. If the car is put in reverse, the camera image will also be incorrectly displayed, which could cause a safety issue. Luckily, the problem resolves itself with the next key cycle.LincolnThe automaker is working on a solution for this issue as well, and it expects to have one in place in the second quarter of 2026 – just in time for summer road trips. It will involve a software update, which Ford is working on at the moment. Owners will be notified of the problem in April, and once the remedy becomes available, they'll be able to schedule the recall service at their local dealer. Should you experience screen inverting in your own Explorer, Escape, Aviator, or Corsair, remember that the proverbial advice from IT should solve the problem: "Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?" Dogged Quality Issues At Ford The Dearborn, Michigan–based automaker has been suffering from a long streak of recalls, many of which coincidentally revolve around the rear camera display. CEO Jim Farley has said that the frequent and expansive recalls are proof that Ford's newfound commitment to quality is taking shape, with engineers discovering problems and the company coming up with a swift solution. We hope that's the case, because even though we're only a few months into 2026, it seems as though Ford is on track to repeat its dubious 2025 "success" of being the most recalled auto brand in the industry last year.
