Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Rearview or backup camera image fails to display or goes blank when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, even after dealer diagnosis finds no fault.
  • Forward-facing and rearview camera lenses become progressively foggy or cloudy over time, worsening in direct sunlight and reducing visibility.
  • Owners who received recall notification for Campaign 22V644000 reported long waits because replacement camera parts were unavailable at dealers.
  • One owner reported the reverse camera screen failed to show an image at purchase, tied to an accessory protocol interface module issue that also affected Bluetooth and radio.
