Ford Motor Company is recalling almost 625,000 vehicles across two of its most popular lineups — the Mustang and Super Duty trucks — to fix potential defects involving seatbelt systems and rearview camera displays.

According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported by Reuters, the recall includes 332,778 Ford Mustangs due to a possible seatbelt-related malfunction, and 291,901 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty models affected by rearview camera display problems.
For the Mustang recall, Ford says the seatbelt pretensioners — mechanisms designed to tighten seatbelts during a collision — may not function correctly under certain conditions, potentially increasing injury risk in an accident. The Super Duty recall involves an image processing module software glitch that could cause the rearview camera display to go blank or show distorted images, impairing visibility while reversing.
Ford will update the camera system software and inspect the seatbelt components at no cost to owners. Dealers will determine if additional seatbelt repairs are needed.
While Ford has not reported any crashes or injuries linked to the defects, the company urged affected vehicle owners to respond promptly to recall notices. The repairs are part of Ford’s ongoing quality control efforts amid a broader industry focus on electronic and safety system reliability.
Owners can verify if their vehicle is included by visiting NHTSA.gov/recalls or contacting Ford customer service with their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
With both the Mustang and Super Duty among Ford’s top sellers, this recall underscores how even high-volume models are vulnerable to software and component issues in increasingly tech-heavy vehicles.
