Michigan-Made Mustangs, Rangers Among 1.5M Ford Vehicles Recalled

Ford is recalling nearly 1.5 million vehicles across the U.S., and the massive safety measure includes some Michigan-made models like the Mustang and Ranger.

Ford Vehicles Recalled Due to Rearview Camera Issue

The Dearborn-based automaker issued the recall because the rearview camera may display a blank, inverted, or distorted image while the vehicle is in reverse.

Which Ford Models Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers certain models of the Lincoln Navigator, Lincoln MKC, Mustang, Ranger, Transit, Transit Connect, Econoline, Edge, Expedition, and F-Series Super Duty trucks (F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550) built between 2015 and 2019.

According to ABC News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a safety recall report on Monday, September 8, indicating that Ford is aware of 18 accidents linked to the faulty camera issue. However, there have been no reports of injuries.

Global Impact of the Recall

Globally, this recall stretches to nearly 1.9 million vehicles, including 1.45 million in the U.S. and more than 400,000 in Canada and other markets. The rearview cameras were supplied by Magna International, which also has facilities in Michigan.

Ford said owners will be notified by mail beginning September 22. Dealers will inspect and replace the faulty cameras at no cost, ensuring the vehicles are safe to operate.
