## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with camera\-only Pre\-Collision Assist feature.  Vehicles built with the optional radar\-plus\-camera Pre\-Collision Assist system are not affected.  Due to incorrect coding of interfacing modules, the Pre\-Collision Assist feature is not enabled, and the driver cannot access the menu functions necessary to enable the Pre\-Collision Assist feature.


## What can happen

If the driver is unaware that the Pre\-Collision Assist feature is not enabled, they may rely on a system that is not functional, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram software for the Body Control Module, Antilock Braking System, Instrument Panel Cluster and Headlamp Control Modules, and reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System, free of charge.  The recall began May 26, 2020.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 20S20.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
