Details

What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific vehicle model details. The mbux multimedia system software may cause the display to remain black, or reboot after startup. This could result in the rearview camera image not displaying properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 111, "rear visibility."

Why it matters: A backup camera that displays a blank image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The fix: The multimedia system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (ota) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning June 28, 2021.
