## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2022 Escape, Lincoln Corsair, 2020\-2024 Lincoln Aviator, and Explorer vehicles. The image on the center display may flip or invert, resulting in an incorrectly displayed rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."


## What can happen

An incorrectly displayed rearview image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the accessory protocol interface module \(APIM\) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C11. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on March 5, 2026.
