Ford is recalling 849,310 vehicles due to potential overheating of the SYNC 4 infotainment systems. The following vehicles are affected:
- 2021-2026 Ford Bronco
- 2021-2024 Ford Edge
The company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that “the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) may experience a temporary thermal shutdown condition for up to five minutes.”
The shutdown will disable the infotainment screen, including the rearview camera display when the car is shifted into reverse. This could limit the drivers’ view to the rear.
Ford is not aware of any warranty claims, accidents, or injuries related to this recall.
Ford says it is working on a software repair for the issue that dealers will install on affected vehicles. Owners will be notified beginning March 30, 2026.
