Overview
- NHTSA posted the recall Tuesday, citing Image Processing Module A resets that can occur during use.
- The resets can blank the rearview camera and shut off pre-collision assist, lane-keeping assist, or blind-spot monitoring, which raises crash risk.
- Drivers may see warnings such as “Front Camera Fault,” “Pre-Collision Assist Not Available,” or “Lane-Keeping System Off” when the fault occurs.
- The action covers the 2022–2025 Lincoln Navigator, 2024–2025 Lincoln Nautilus, 2025 Lincoln Aviator, and 2025 Ford Explorer.
- Ford will push a free software fix at dealers or over the air, reports no known crashes or injuries, and directs owners to NHTSA.gov for VIN checks as part of a broader early‑2026 recall wave focused on software reliability.
