Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Backup camera Vehicle recall #26V539000 · 2026 · 306,511 vehicles

What's wrong: The rearview camera screen May display a distorted or blank image.

Why it matters: A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera, if necessary, free of charge. Letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed September 17, 2026. Another letter will be mailed once the parts are available.
