This condition may avoid notifications to the driver showing the features are inoperative. An inoperative Pre-Collision Assist system may not detect or decrease the risk or severity of a frontal collision. In fact, it could boost the risk of an injury or accident if the driver is depending on assistance from the system.
This condition affects Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles are geared up with the standard camera-only Pre-Collision Assist system.
There have been no reports of accident or injury related to this issue. This action affects 25,081 vehicles in the US and federal territories and 1,106 in Canada.
