On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear correctly in the central display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
A rearview camera image that does not display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the rearview camera software, if necessary.
On certain vehicles, the rearview camera does not return to the default settings when it turns on. This could make the rearview image difficult to see if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display brightness at or near the lowest setting, and contrast at or near the highest setting. Canadian regulations require that the rearview display returns to the default view each time the camera is turned on.
Reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rearview camera.
