Scope of the Recall
On March 24, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that Ford Motor is recalling 254,640 sport utility vehicles in the United States because of software issues that could affect key safety-related systems.
The recall covers multiple SUV nameplates across the Ford and Lincoln brands. According to the NHTSA, the affected vehicles include:
| Brand | Model |
|---|---|
| Lincoln | Navigator |
| Lincoln | Nautilus |
| Lincoln | Aviator |
| Ford | Explorer |
Nature of the Software Problem
The NHTSA stated that the recall stems from a problem with image processing software that can reset unexpectedly. When this occurs, the system may fail to display the rearview camera image and may temporarily disable certain advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features.
According to the NHTSA, the ADAS functions that may be affected include:
- Pre-collision assist
- Lane-keeping assist

Remedy and Update Process
The NHTSA said the issue will be corrected through a software update. This update will be provided either by authorized dealers or directly by the company using an over-the-air (OTA) update mechanism.
