The rearview camera in these vehicles may appear distorted or blank when the vehicle is in Reverse, decreasing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed before November; a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available, which Ford expects to be in June 2026. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 25SA9), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.

If you haven’t shopped for a new car in a while, you’re in for sticker shock. With the average price of a new car hovering around $50,000 for some time now, it may seem like that new-car smell is out of reach. But you can still find good new cars that are priced tens of thousands of dollars less than that. Our expert car reviewers looked at national car listing prices and voted for their favorite models in seven different vehicle classes.
The Nissan Pathfinder sank to the bottom of Cars.com’s most recent 3-Row SUV Challenge due to several misses, such as an ancient infotainment system, unrefined powertrain and cramped third row. It looks like an update for 2026 will fix one of those issues: Nissan is debuting a revised version of the three-row crossover at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show with a large, modern infotainment system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with revised exterior styling and more premium features.

Having just added hands-free driving with automated lane changes to its DreamDrive Pro driver-assistance tech over the summer, Lucid has announced plans for further development of its autonomous-driving system. The California electric-vehicle maker has partnered with chipmaker Nvidia with the goal of being the first to market with what the companies in a statement call a “true eyes-off, hands-off and mind-off (Level 4) consumer-owned autonomous vehicle.”
GM says its customers have logged more than 700 million miles using its Super Cruise hands-free semi-autonomous highway-driving tech without a single crash attributed to the system. But hands-free does not mean eyes-free; Super Cruise monitors the driver during its operation and will deactivate if their gaze strays from the road for too long. However, GM says that will change with the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ, the brand’s super-sized electric SUV.
