An oddly specific issue has prompted Ford’s latest recall of 47,000 Bronco SUVs — a rearview camera image that doesn’t disappear after shifting back into Drive when in 4-Low mode.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2021-22 Bronco SUVs equipped with the 8-inch infotainment display. The issue stems from a glitch in the software that causes the rearview camera image to remain after reversing has ended in 4-Low mode. The static image may distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

To fix the problem, the Sync module software can be updated by a dealer or an over-the-air update for free. Ford will begin notifying owners Dec.19, but those with further questions in the meantime can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 22C27), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
