Ford is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V165, because the rearview camera image may still be displayed after a backing event has ended.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: the fault is a display behaving incorrectly rather than a loss of vehicle function, and no incidents are recorded.
Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles equipped with 8-inch SYNC infotainment screens that were previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V165. About 35 units are potentially affected.
The rearview camera image may still be displayed after a backing event has ended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility".
NHTSA states that a rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the SYNC module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 28, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing recall number 25C72, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
