Distracted driving is not news. It can be devastating if you look away from the road at high speeds. According to the NHTSA, on average, 30,000 crashes are caused by distracted drivers each year.
Some 47,000 Ford Bronco SUVs have been recalled due to a problem with their backup cameras.
The dashboard of some Ford Broncos still displays the camera image even after the vehicle is switched out of the reverse position. Ford and the NHTSA are concerned that the rearview image may distract drivers and increase the likelihood of a crash.
The software that allows hands-free voice-activated communication and navigation, not properly configuring, is the root of the problem.
Between September 23, 2020 and May 18, 2022. Ford will be implementing an over-the-air software update that will fix the SYNC system issue automatically, so you can bring your car into the dealership to have the issue corrected. You don't have to bring your car to the dealership to have the recall issue corrected.
