Rearview camera malfunction

The recall, reported to NHTSA on June 13, impacts 19 different makes and models. Around 1,033,433 vehicles are affected by an issue with the rearview camera, which may decrease driver visibility and lead to an increased crash risk.

Some of the affected cars were built with radio software that may prevent the rearview camera signal from passing through to the media screen. This stops the rearview image from displaying, causing impacted vehicles to no longer comply with federal safety requirements for rear visibility.
