Published
Ford Motor Company has issued a safety recall affecting approximately 11,405 vehicles. The recall was filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on September 22, 2026 under campaign number 26V605000.
The Defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2026 Ranger vehicles equipped with a 10.1-inch center stack screen. The screen may lose power and fail to display the rearview camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The Risk
A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Remedy
The remedy is currently under development. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed October 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent when the remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C42. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 25, 2026.

A recall repair is free — but if your Ford has been in the shop repeatedly, or the fix has not held, you may have a lemon law claim worth far more than the repair. See our Ford problems and recalls hub or Check if you qualify →.
