The Ford rear camera recall includes 620,246 vehicles in the U.S., 76,566 in Canada and 4,302 in Mexico.
Ford was monitoring warranty claims related to the rear cameras that sometimes displayed distorted or blank images because problems with the systems may violate federal safety standards.
The rearview camera problem seemed to occur to multiple models with different failure rates, and the automaker even found rear camera image problems on vehicles that just arrived on dealer lots.
Ford says it is unaware of any crash or injury reports caused by the rear camera problems, but a recall is still necessary to satisfy federal standards.
