The software error, which Ford reported to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and was posted on Transport Canada’s website earlier this month, may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

The problem will be fixed by a dealer or via an “over-the-air” update at a later date.

Tranport Canada’s says Ford will notify owners by mail.
