## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 Explorer, Lincoln Corsair, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with 360\-degree cameras.  The video output may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.


## What can happen

A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the Image Processing Module \(IPMB\) software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed November 16, 2021.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 21S44.
