Ford Fined $165 Million for Delayed Recall of Defective Rearview Cameras

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration penalized Ford for slow recall actions and incomplete reporting on faulty rearview cameras.

Ford's penalty is the second largest in NHTSA's history, following the Takata airbag case.
The recall involved over 620,000 vehicles, including popular models like the Ford F-150 and Mustang.
The NHTSA found Ford violated federal safety laws by delaying the recall and providing inaccurate data.
Ford must invest $45 million in safety improvements, including a new testing lab and data analytics.
An independent third party will oversee Ford's recall compliance for at least three years.
