Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2026 Ford Ranger vehicles equipped with a 10.1-inch center stack screen. The defect involves the screen potentially losing power, which causes it to fail to display the rearview camera image. This failure means the vehicles do 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. Additional letters will be sent when the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's internal recall number is 26C42. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 25, 2026.
