Ford Announces Major Recall Across Canada Over Safety Issue
If you own a Ford, it’s time to check your recall status. Ford has recalled over 159,000 vehicles in Canada due to a critical safety flaw affecting the rearview camera system. Transport Canada issued an urgent notice on May 9, urging drivers to take action.
Backup Camera Glitch Raises Crash Risk
The issue centers on a software bug that may cause the rearview camera image to freeze or fail to display when shifting into reverse. This glitch can prevent drivers from seeing obstacles behind their vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident. While no related crashes have been reported so far, Ford is moving quickly to fix the problem.
What To Do If Your Ford Is Affected
If your vehicle is on the recall list, you’ll receive a letter from Ford with instructions. The fix is simple: Ford will send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles, or you can book a free update at any Ford dealership.
