The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has imposed a penalty of up to $165 million on Ford for delaying a recall of 600,000 vehicles with faulty rearview cameras. The agency found that Ford did not act timely or report required information regarding the recall initiated in 2020. As part of the agreement, Ford must pay $65 million immediately, with the potential for an additional $55 million based on compliance. The automaker is also mandated to review past recalls and improve its safety protocols with the help of an independent monitor.
