Rear camera recall
Are you guys aware of this recall?
MBC CAMPAIGN NUMBER2021020005
GOVERNMENT ISSUED RECALL NUMBER2021041
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain CLA, GLA, GLE, GLS, SLC, GT, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, SL, B-Class, GLC, CLS, and G-Class (platforms 117, 156, 166, 292, 172, 190, 290, 205, 213, 238, 217, 222, 231, 246, 253, 257, 463) vehicles the variant coding of the head unit might not meet specifications. If the reverse gear is selected, the rearview camera image in the central display might no longer be displayed due to an active operation of other functions of the central display.In this case, the local legal requirements of CMVSS 111 might not be met. Furthermore, if the rearview camera image is unavailable, the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up may be impaired. This could increase the risk of a crash. The customer will not receive an advance warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism. There are no specific precautions to be taken with respect to the subject issue until the corrective measures are implemented. As a precautionary measure, Mercedes-Benz AG, via its Mercedes-Benz service partners, will update the variant coding of the head unit on the affected vehicles.
