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.
