Both models are equipped with its proprietary Turing AI smart driving system without extra charge, He said.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 200,000 vehicles because a software defect can cause the rearview camera to fail, increasing the risk of a crash and injury, Reuters reported.

Ford told US highway safety regulators that the camera can either display a blank image or that the image may remain on the display after the driver finishes backing up, causing a distraction, Reuters reported.

Dealerships will eventually update the camera software free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by July 28.
