The risk
A rearview camera image that fails to display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Radio software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning September 2, 2026.
