(Reuters) – Ford Motor is ‌recalling 254,640 SUVs in the U.S. over software issues that may result in ​the loss of rearview ​camera image and some advanced ⁠driver assistance (ADAS) features, the ​U.S. National Highway Traffic ​Safety Administration said on Tuesday.

Here are some details:

  • The recall includes ​Lincoln Navigator, Lincoln Nautilus, ​Lincoln Aviator and Ford Explorer SUVs, ‌according ⁠to the NHTSA.
