Recall summary
As a result of a software error, the rearview camera in the affected vehicles may fail to show an image while backing or stay on once the transmission is shifted out of Reverse. In addition, the infotainment system may go blank or show messages in an incorrect language.
Recall risks
While a missing rearview camera image reduces visibility when reversing, one that stays on while driving may prevent the driver from using other car functions, such as navigation. Both situations up the risk of a crash and injury.
