Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 03:32 · Archive

Ford Australia is recalling 1085 Ford Ranger utes and Everest SUVs due to a faulty infotainment screen that may prevent the reversing camera image from displaying.

Ford Australia is recalling 1085 Ford Ranger utes and Everest SUVs over a manufacturing issue with the 10.1-inch centre touchscreen. Due to the defect, the display screen may stop functioning and show a blank screen, preventing the reversing camera image from appearing whilst reversing.

Ford's official recall notice states that if the rear-view image is not displayed on the centre screen while reversing, this could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to persons located behind the vehicle.

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Ford and asked to contact an authorised dealer to have the issue fixed free of charge. Owners with questions can contact the Ford Customer Relationship Centre on 13 36 73.

This is the latest in a series of recalls affecting these models. The Ranger was recalled in August 2026 over a side-airbag deployment issue affecting almost 14000 vehicles made between 2025 and 2026. The Everest was recalled in July over an issue with the 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford continues to issue more vehicle recalls than any other manufacturer in Australia.
