What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain Bronco vehicles with 8-inch SYNC screens that were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. On these vehicles, the backup camera picture can stay on the screen after you have finished backing up. That does not meet the federal rule for rear visibility. Dealers will update the software for the SYNC system. Owner notification letters have been mailed, and the repair is free.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Ford dealer to schedule the software update, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 25V888000.
