May 28 (Reuters) - Ford Motor ( F ) is recalling

1,075,299 vehicles in the United States over an issue that may

prevent the rearview camera from displaying images increasing

the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration said on Wednesday.

The recall affects certain vehicles among 2021-2024 Bronco,

F-150, Edge, and 2023-2024 Escape, Corsair, F-250, F-350, F-450,

F-550 and F-600, the U.S. auto safety regulator said.

The recall also impacts the 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025

Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, Lincoln Nautilus, 2024 Ranger,

Mustang and the 2022-2024 Navigator.

The NHTSA said a software error may cause the rearview

camera image to delay, freeze, or not display.

Dealers are expected to update the accessory protocol

interface module (APIM) software through an over-the-air update,

free of charge, the agency added.

The APIM software serves as an operating system for the

car's dashboard, helping its infotainment system to control apps

and display maps, among others.

Letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to

be mailed by June 16. A second letter will be sent once the

remedy is available, anticipated for third quarter 2025,

according to the NHTSA.
