Ford is recalling more than 1 million vehicles due to a software problem that can cause the rearview cameras to freeze or delay images while a driver is reversing.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a notice that the error on some Ford vehicles poses crash risks as the backup camera may not accurately display images correctly while drivers are backing up.

Ford said that no injuries have been reported in connection to the issue, but noted that it is "aware of one allegation of a minor crash resulting in property damage," according to the recall notice.

The NHTSA notified Ford of the issue on January 17.

Owners of affected vehicles will receive a letter in the mail about the issue by June 16, according to the notice. A second letter will be mailed out later this year with further information once a solution is made available.

Ford said it is planning to update its vehicle software this year for free through its dealers or through remote updates.
