Ford Recalls Over 144,000 Maverick Trucks Due to Rearview Camera Malfunction

Ford has issued a significant recall affecting more than 144,000 Maverick pickup trucks due to a malfunction with the rearview camera. The issue, caused by a software glitch, can result in the rear camera image freezing while the vehicle is in reverse, which poses a safety risk by reducing driver visibility and increasing the chances of a crash.

Details of the Ford Maverick Recall

This recall impacts 2022-2024 Ford Maverick trucks that are equipped with the Connected Touch Radio system. Ford discovered a memory leak in the camera’s software during stress testing, which can cause the camera feed to freeze. Additionally, the system has four other vulnerabilities that can lead to camera delays or missing images while reversing.

Affected vehicles were produced between February 3, 2021, and November 28, 2023. This issue has already resulted in four warranty claims, 22 customer complaints, and two reported accidents, though no injuries have been confirmed.

How Ford Will Fix the Issue

Ford will update the Connected Touch Radio software to resolve the rearview camera issue. Unfortunately, this update cannot be delivered over the air, meaning affected owners will need to visit a Ford dealership to receive the software fix. The repairs will be free of charge to customers.

Ford will start notifying owners on September 30, 2024, about the recall. Owners with questions can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 24S59). They can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 or check their VIN on the NHTSA website to see if their vehicle is affected.
