A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V165
Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Components BACK OVER PREVENTION
Potential Number of Units Affected 1,651
Summary
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles equipped with 8-inch SYNC infotainment screens that were previously remedied under recall 22V-825. The rearview camera image may still be displayed after a backing event has ended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, “Rear Visibility.”
Remedy
The SYNC module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 1, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 23C05.
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.nhtsa.gov.

NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice –
Compliance Recall 23C05
Certain 2021-2022 Model Year Bronco Vehicles Equipped with 8 Inch SYNC Screens
Accessory Protocol Interface Module Software Update
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
Bronco | 2021 | Michigan | January 20, 2021 through December 22, 2021 |
Bronco | 2022 | Michigan | December 22, 2021 through May 18, 2022 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111 Rear Visibility when in 4 Low mode. The rearview camera and image display function properly throughout the duration of a backing event and properly cease when the backing event ends (vehicle shifted to a forward gear and the vehicle speed exceeds 10 mph). A black or blue screen is then displayed rather than the expected SYNC screen. If the vehicle decelerates to 5 mph, the rear-view camera image may reappear on the SYNC screen with no input from the driver despite the vehicle being in a forward gear.
SERVICE ACTION
All of the affected vehicles previously had Ford Safety Recall 22C27 performed. Updated software was not available at the time. Ford Motor Company wants to ensure the software is updated to the most current release available.
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this compliance recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers 2nd Quarter 2023 when it is anticipated that the software and repair instructions will be available to support this compliance recall.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening an RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and software have been provided to dealers.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.
Chronology :
January – February 2023:
On January 26, 2023, reports from an international Ford dealership servicing Bronco vehicles for compliance recall 22C27 (NHTSA Campaign No. 22V-825) were brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review. The international dealership had contacted Ford’s Customer Service Division (“FCSD”) for help completing the software update on several vehicles as specified in FCSD’s recall instructions for compliance recall 22C27. In investigating the reports from the international dealership, FCSD learned that dealers were unable to complete compliance recall 22C27 for a subset of the compliance recall population because the updated software did not contain a remedy for some configurations of Bronco vehicles.
The CCRG investigation found that the recall remedy software intended to remedy the noncompliance in 22C27 was not released for dealer updates for vehicles equipped with SYNC 8-inch infotainment screens. The software for other SYNC variants in the compliance recall 22C27 population was released for over-the-air and dealer updates and those vehicles are receiving the software remedy as planned.
FCSD identified that the 22C27 recall had been closed by dealers for 1,651 vehicles with SYNC 8-inch infotainment screens. There were no over-the-air updates applied for these vehicles. Ford’s CCRG concluded that these 1,651 vehicles received the most current version of software and were marked as being completed; however, there was no compliance recall 22C27 software remedy released for these vehicles and it is not possible for them to have received a remedy.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
On March 3, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

The international dealership had contacted Ford’s Customer Service Division (“FCSD”) for help completing the software update on several vehicles as specified in FCSD’s recall instructions for compliance recall 22C27. In investigating the reports from the international dealership, FCSD learned that dealers were unable to complete compliance recall 22C27 for a subset of the compliance recall population because the updated software did not contain a remedy for some configurations of Bronco vehicles. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-165 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 The CCRG investigation found that the recall remedy software intended to remedy the noncompliance in 22C27 was not released for dealer updates for vehicles equipped with SYNC 8-inch infotainment screens. The software for other SYNC variants in the compliance recall 22C27 population was released for over-the-air and dealer updates and those vehicles are receiving the software remedy as planned. FCSD identified that the 22C27 recall had been closed by dealers for 1,651 vehicles with SYNC 8-inch infotainment screens. There were no over-the-air updates applied for these vehicles. Ford’s CCRG concluded that these 1,651 vehicles received the most current version of software and were marked as being completed; however, there was no compliance recall 22C27 software remedy released for these vehicles and it is not possible for them to have received a remedy. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. On March 3, 2023, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The remedy for this program is a SYNC module software update which properly configures the SYNC system for vehicle usage in 4-Low mode and corrects this issue. Ford will utilize Ford Power-Up (Over-The-Air) deployment to update the SYNC module software for affected vehicles. Alternatively, owners will have the option to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to complete the software update. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021. The ending date for reimbursement eligibility is estimated to be May 19, 2023. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The recalled vehicles will receive a SYNC module software update that properly configures the SYNC system for vehicle usage in 4-Low mode.
