Back Over Prevention: Software Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2026 Ford Bronco and 2021-2024 Ford Edge vehicles. The Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) may overheat and shutdown, which can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended.
Risk: A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: The APIM software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 13, 2026.

The rear camera is having a glitch/ dark mode and is unable to fully inspect for any safety concerns despite myself checking my surroundings. It poses a hazard because it can cause myself to damage the car when I’m trying to reverse the car to park and I can accidentally hit an animal, a structure, or a child who is on my blind spot since the camera is unable to be shown clearly. Although there were multiple attempts to restart the car, using a Microsoft rag and updated the car it has failed to be resolved.

To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
