NHTSA recall 20V046000
Back Over Prevention · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2019 a220 and a220 4matic vehicles. In certain operating conditions, the rearview camera software may cause a delay in displaying the rearview camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply to federal motor safety standard (fmvss) number 111, "rearview mirrors."
Why it matters: A delayed rearview camera display can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the car, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. The recall began April 8, 2020.
