Issue:

On the affected vehicles, after shifting into reverse or manually activating the parking function, the rearview camera picture may not be displayed.

A rearview camera with a deactivated image can reduce the driver’s information of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to people outside the vehicle.
