Mercedes-Benz A Class: Visual System

Affects Mercedes-Benz A Class · 2019 — about 231 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause a delay in the appearance of the rearview camera image. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display within 2 seconds of shifting the transmission into reverse gear. Safety Risk: A rearview camera that is slow to turn on could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the rearview camera software.
