WASHINGTON (AP)— Ford is recalling more than a million vehicles due to a software issue that can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, increasing the chance of an accident.

The software error, which Ford reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration earlier this month, may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

The problem will be fixed by a dealer or via an “over-the-air” update, expected to be available sometime in the third quarter of this year.
