11:35 AM EST, 11/14/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Ford Motor ( F ) has agreed to pay a $165 million civil penalty for failing to promptly recall vehicles with defective rearview cameras, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday.

The automaker was also found to have failed to provide accurate and complete recall information, in violation of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the NHTSA said.

The consent order includes an upfront payment of $65 million, with an additional $55 million deferred and $45 million for performance obligations, according to the federal agency.

Under the order, Ford is required, among other things, to develop and implement safety data analytics infrastructure, review all recalls it has issued over the last three years and to review and make any necessary changes to its recall decision-making process.

The company did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
