**current recal fix did not fix my issue** often when starting vehicle after hours of parking and entering reverse to back out of parking spot, camera will show "camera temporarily unavailable" and is not usable for a time (30seconds up to several minutes). We have software version 3. 5. 24 in-which the recall should have already been fixed as per the letter we received. The issue is not resolved and persists.

Rear view camera sometimes does not display on the infotainment screen even though the car is in reverse. The display message is “camera is temporarily unavailable”. I have yet to receive a recall notice. This issues makes backing up very dangerous!.
On 2 occasions (only had vehicle 3 weeks), ive received a message on the screen that the camera is temporarily unavailable when in reverse. The message suggests I press the home button but didn’t help. I then rebooted the google based system by long pressing the home button again. After the reboot, hit the same message the camera is unavailable. I then tried to select the other cameras (side mirrors, front bumper), but nothing displayed.
After a software update the backup camera’s field of view is super focused on the tailgate, license plate, and the immediate ground below. This is a safety concern as there have been a few near misses at parking lot speeds.
