“NHTSA Recall No. 25V-280 concerning rear camera. I have been getting the camera is temporarily unavailable display occasionally since late last year (2024). I had no problem with the rear camera before that. I received the above recall notice and took the car into the shop on Jul 7, 2025 for the software upgrade from 3.3.16 to 3.6.4. Since then, I am still getting camera is temporarily unavailable displays occasionally. The problem was not solved with this software upgrade.”
NHTSA complaint #11677568, filed 2025-07“When putting the car in reverse, the rear camera displays briefly. As you start to reverse, the camera cuts in and out and you're unable to see what is behind you on the screen. It flashes to black for at least a minute, so you're unable to use the backup camera for up to 60 seconds after you put the car in reverse.”
NHTSA complaint #11594906, filed 2024-06“Upon putting the vehicle into reverse, the backup camera takes an insurmountably long time to engage and when it does, the image it produces frequently flashes for several seconds before stabilizing, rendering it useless - particularly with pedestrians or vehicles behind the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11586906, filed 2024-05“When put into reverse, display just shows Camera is temporarily unavailable. This is after the OTA update 4.2.13 that was supposed to fix the issue. Rear cross traffic braking is also unavailable at this time.”
NHTSA complaint #11717689, filed 2026-02“The parking camera system freezes and flickers on a fresh startup on a fairly consistent basis, all you have to do is let the car go into a sleep state then enter the car and go in to reverse. Also, there are false positives from the parking collision system in the rear when going down a sidewalk apron, causing the emergency braking system to trigger. This has happened often enough to the point where I disable the emergency braking system on every startup.”
