  Defect Investigation of Rear-view Camera Failure

Investigation of Rear-view Camera Failure

Subject: Rear-view camera failure
Components covered:
  • Back over prevention: sensing system: camera
Investigations Summary: The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 11 complaints from vehicle owners and several early warning reporting (ewr) field reports alleging failures of the rear-view camera (rvc) in 2020 and 2021 Cadillac xt5, xt6, and GMC acadia vehicles. The complaints report that the screen for the rvc is black, sometimes with a red triangle and a circle with a line through it. The reports have been received over the past 24 months with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. Failure or malfunction of the rvc results in reduced visibility of the area behind the vehicle. This limited view may lead to an increased risk of incidents resulting in injury and/or property damage while the vehicle is in reverse. Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to determine the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues. The odi reports cited above are available to review online at NHTSA. Gov under odi identification numbers: 11429267, 11425365, 11415501, 11406709, 11343838, 11463278, 11446363, 11431846, 11415261, 11390254, 11471702
