Ford is recalling nearly 400,000 vehicles because their 360-degree camera may not work properly.

The recall involves 2020-2023 Explorers, Lincoln Aviators and 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsairs.

Ford says the video output on the camera may fail, preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.

"Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash," Ford notes.

The automaker says it's aware of 17 reported minor accidents that may be related to the faulty video output, which causes a blue screen. No injuries have been reported.

Owners should receive letters in February to take their vehicles in to be serviced. Dealers will update the necessary software for free, Ford states.

The Lincoln Memorial will be getting a $69 million upgrade.

According to the National Park Service, a 15,000 square feet exhibit will be created underneath the Lincoln Memorial to tell a "more complete story" of its history.

“The undercroft of the Lincoln Memorial, long hidden from public view, offers a fascinating setting to learn more about America’s 16^th president and the memorial that honors him,” Jeff Reinbold, superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks, said. “Thanks to the National Park Foundation and its generous donors, visitors will be able to view this dramatic architectural feature, learn about the how the memorial was built and how its meaning has evolved over the last century.”

The National Parks Service says the exhibit will feature an immersive theater presentation with projected images of historic events onto the foundations.

“Improving the visitor experience at the Lincoln Memorial is vitally important to connecting Americans to the rich history of our country, the triumphs, the failures, and the lessons learned,” said David M. Rubenstein, who donated $18.5 million for the project.

The memorial will remain open during the construction. However, the basement area exhibits will close this spring.

The new exhibit is scheduled to open in March 2026.

Greg Schroeter's bout with COVID-19 was relatively mild.

But the other problems it triggered left him hospitalized for nearly three months.

The 51-year-old from rural Humphrey, Nebraska, said his recovery has been long and emotional.

"I went from basically being bedridden, and one of my physical therapists stood me up," he said. "And I looked him eye to eye and I knew I was gonna walk again."

Schroeter documented all his milestones at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals-Lincoln Campus: the first time standing, walking on a robotic treadmill called a Lokomat, and using a walker and walking on his own.

"It's three and a half hours a day of pure hell, but it's worth everything because I'm going to walk out there," Schroeter said.

In November 2020, his wife Kimberly Schroeter, a registered nurse, tested positive for COVID-19. Her symptoms were mild. They wore masks and slept in separate bedrooms.

"I guess I thought I was out of the woods. I was on day 10 of quarantine," Schroeter said.

He was working outside when suddenly he felt pain in his legs. A couple of days later, he could barely move. On Nov. 23, he was taken to Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.

Doctors told him he developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder that attacks the spinal cord causing paralysis. It was apparently triggered by his exposure to the coronavirus.

"I never would have gotten Guillain-Barre if it wasn't for COVID," he said.

The disease soon began affecting his breathing.

"This is the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody or my worst enemy," Schroeter said. "It is absolutely awful."

Kimberly Schroeter said she was thankful Greg didn't have to go on a ventilator.

"For some reason, he escaped that twice and that was pretty amazing," she said.

Schroeter also developed a pancreatic cyst that doctors operated on. On Jan. 8, he was well enough to be taken to Madonna.

"I was basically helpless," Schroeter said. "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move."

Dr. Paul Krabbenhoft, Madonna's Spinal Cord Injury Program medical director, said Schroeter's case is not unique.

Since the pandemic began, Madonna staff in Lincoln and Omaha have treated 105 patients for post-COVID-19, many with severe side effects.

Krabbenhoft said they have also treated other Guillain-Barre patients. "Something that causes the immune system to respond and then it gets out of kilter and it starts acting on and attacking the central nervous system," Krabbenhoft said.

Schroeter is grateful for all the support from family, friends and co-workers.

"I feel like the prayers that were given to me and the Methodist Hospital team and the Madonna Hospital team, I believe they saved my life," Schroeter said.

For every milestone Schroeter recorded, his wife would send him a text.

"I would say, my heart is fluttering," she said. "Fluttering was like my word to him every time he did something so amazing."

Schroeter will soon reach another amazing milestone: going home two weeks ahead of schedule.

"He's my hero," Kimberly said. "Everything he's been through and he just never ever gave up. I guess I could say that I think I fell in love with my husband all over again."

LINCOLN, Neb. —

According to court documents, 80-year-old John Kotopka said he was exhausted from caring for 78-year-old Janet Kotopka who was diagnosed with the degenerative memory disease two years ago.

It was early Sunday morning when a marriage of 57 years ended in a Lincoln, Nebraska, house.

Kotopka told police he was in the living room with his wife, Janet, when he went upstairs to fully load and get his revolver, according to court documents. He then came down and shot her once in the head.

Documents state that Kotopka said he started thinking about seriously hurting her 10 days before and that.

Now police and health leaders want you to know, you are not alone, and help is available if you need to get a loved one into a memory care facility.

"They’re there, they're available and we suggest that they always look at those avenues, prior to taking drastic actions," Lincoln Police Department’s Acting Police Chief Brian Jackson said.

"Caregivers themselves can experience medical problems simply because of the stress of caring for their loved ones at home," Legacy Pointe Rehabilitation Center’s Chadd Russell said.

Russell said the biggest problem is most people don't know there are options.

"The sad reality of situations like this is many times, they're avoidable," Russell said.

Court documents said Kotopka also said he was worried about the financial responsibility of putting Janet in a nursing home.

"For people who are struggling financially, that support is available to them through the state Medicare office," Russell said.

Kotopka has been charged with first degree assault and the use of a firearm to commit a felony.

He's being held on 10% of a $500,000 bond.

Lincoln police said now that Janet has died, they are going to review the charges as they do an autopsy.
