Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2024-2026 Ranger vehicles equipped with 10.1-inch center stack screens installed during service. The defect involves the screen potentially losing power, which prevents the display of the rearview camera image. This failure causes the vehicles to not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

The inability to display the rearview camera image reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

The corrective remedy is currently under development. Ford expects to mail interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk on October 5, 2026, with additional letters sent when the remedy becomes available. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's internal recall number is 26C42, and affected Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 25, 2026.
