Why it was recalled
The problem: a crash risk.
NHTSA's defect summary: “Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2026 Ranger vehicles equipped with a 10.1-inch center stack screen. The screen may lose power and fail to display the rearview camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."”
The consequence, according to NHTSA: “A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.”

Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C42.
