Risk: An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: The Infotainment system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 29, 2022.
