What Happened
The Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) is a computer that helps your Bronco or Edge show the image from your rearview camera. In some 2021-2024 models, this module can overheat and shut down, making the camera image disappear.
Risk if Unfixed
If your rearview camera image doesn't show up, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle, which can increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will update the APIM software for free, or you can get an over-the-air update at home. Either way, this service is complimentary, and you should schedule it when you receive the recall notice.
