National transportation expert Mike Caudill provides a history of the Ford Mustang and reveals the automaker’s plans for the future on ‘The Big Money Show.’
Ford is recalling about 144,500 of its Maverick trucks due to concerns that the rear camera display could show a frozen image while backing up.
The recalled Maverick trucks for the 2022-2024 model years have “Connected Radios,” according to a September 13 recall report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
In the report, Ford said the frozen rear camera image could lead to a “false representation of the vehicle’s relation to its surroundings, increasing the risk of a crash.”

The automaker linked the potential problem to “improper memory management” within the Connected Touch Radio software that has been resolved since production.
