Rearview cameras are supposed to make backing up easier. Unfortunately for Ford owners, 1.74 million vehicles may instead provide a masterclass in confusion thanks to a pair of software related gremlins.

 

The automaker has issued two separate recall campaigns covering a variety of models after discovering glitches that can affect the rearview camera display, only six months after recalling 1.5 million vehicles for a similar problem. This year’s two camera problems aren’t identical, but the end result is the same. Drivers might not see what’s behind them when they shift into reverse.
