Ford issues recall of more than 1 million vehicles
DEARBORN, Mich. (WSAV) — Ford Motor company is recalling over 1 million vehicles due to a software error effecting the rearview camera.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue could cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze or not display, reducing drivers' views behind the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall affects a variety of vehicles made between 2021 and 2024, including Ford Broncos, F-150s, Mustangs and Lincoln Navigators.
The NHTSA said dealers are expecte4d to update the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software through an over-the-air update, free of charge.
Letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed by June 16 followed by a second letter once the remedy is available.

Ford Recalls 29,501 F-150 Lightning Trucks Over Suspension Defect Risk
The NHTSA is recalling more than 29,000 models of Ford's electric F-150 Lightning truck, but the problems reported have nothing to do with the electric powertrain. Suspension components are prone to failure, with the separation of the front control arms possibly resulting in a loss of steering control. According to the recall details provided by the NHTSA, the nut of the control arm's upper ball joint may have been insufficiently tightened, allowing the upper control arm to completely detach from the knuckle assembly, leading to a loss of steering control and, potentially, a crash. A total of 29,501 F-150 Lightnings from the 2024 and 2025 model years are included in the recall. Repair work involves replacing the nuts and tightening them to the correct torque. While this is a notable safety issue, this recall is a drop in the ocean compared to the recent recall of nearly 1.1 million vehicles announced on June 1. This recall was for rearview camera displays that can freeze or go completely blank, covering many popular Ford models such as the Mustang, Bronco F-Series, and Ranger, and Lincoln models such as the Corsair, Nautilus, and Navigator. So far, in 2025 alone, Ford has recalled vehicles for problems with transmission valve bodies that cause a loss of reverse gear, failing high-current fuses that can cut power to electric motors, missing cup plugs on 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engines that may lead to oil leaks, missing dashboard airbag warning labels, and loose or missing steering shaft bolts, to name only a few. In the beginning of the year, Ford's BlueCruise drew attention to itself when several Mustang Mach-Es were involved in fatal nighttime crashes while BlueCruise was engaged. This came fresh off the back of a September 2024 recall for more than 90,000 vehicles for intake valves on 2.7L and 3.0L Nano V6 engines that may break while driving, leading to engine failure and a loss of drive power.

Fighter jet project spurs contractor interest at Cold Lake recruitment event
by the Cold Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce. The event, aimed at connecting local and regional businesses with upcoming work tied to the F-35 fighter jet program at 4 Wing Cold Lake, exceeded expectations, according to Cold Lake Chamber Executive Director Sherri Buckle. 'We were expecting about 150 people, and I just actually did the count this morning and we had 224 attendees,' said Buckle. Held in collaboration with project partners and industry experts, the event offered presentations that covered vital details on security clearances, approval processes, and the types of work required to support the major construction and retrofitting activities underway at the base. 'Cold Lake was chosen because of the military base, and that is primarily what we were gearing towards,' Buckle explained. 'The event yesterday was about educating contractors on the processes, what actually needs to be done in order to be approved to do work on 4 Wing.' The afternoon was dedicated to networking, with lineups forming at booths as attendees sought one-on-one conversations with project representatives. 'There is something for everyone whether you sell paper or you're an earth mover,' Buckle said. 'Anything that 4 Wing would contract out or buy, that's who should be in the room.' Buckle also underlined the importance of keeping the work regional to bolster local employment and stimulate the economy. 'If we can keep the work local, that ultimately allows for greater employment opportunities for our locals,' she said. 'This event was a true regional event.' Contractors who missed the session are encouraged to reach out to either the Cold Lake or Bonnyville Chamber of Commerce for follow-up information and resources. The Future Fighter Capability Project is a long-term federal initiative to replace Canada's aging fleet of CF-18s with 88 advanced F-35 fighter jets, requiring significant infrastructure upgrades and support services at bases like 4 Wing Cold Lake, according to the Defence Construction of Canada website.
