More than 271,000 General Motors vehicles across the United States are being recalled due to defective backup camera systems, federal safety officials announced Wednesday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that the recall primarily affects Chevrolet Malibu sedan models. According to NHTSA, drivers may experience problems with their backup camera displays showing unclear, warped, or completely empty screens when reversing.
Safety regulators warn this malfunction significantly limits drivers’ ability to see what’s behind their vehicles while backing up, creating potential safety hazards. The federal agency stated that authorized dealerships will examine the faulty camera systems and install replacement units as needed.
Vehicle owners affected by this recall should contact their local Chevrolet dealers to schedule inspection and repair appointments.
