 CNN -  Ford is being fined up to $165 million after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ruled the automaker moved too slowly in recalling cars with faulty rearview cameras. The ruling comes three years after the NHTSA opened an investigation to determine whether Ford waited too long to issue its 2020 recall of 600,000 vehicles. The models affected included the 2020 Ford Edge, Escape, Expedition, Explorer, F-150, Mustang, Ranger and Transit, as well as the Lincoln Corsair and Nautilus. Drivers began reporting that year that their cameras sometimes showed a blank screen. The agency this week said Ford failed to issue a "timely recall" and did not meet certain deadlines to report back on its progress. The penalty levied against Ford is one of the largest in the NHTSA's 54-year history.
