Subject
Seven of the above vehicles may not display the rearview image during a backing event. The vehicle operator will notice that the rearview image is not displayed if attempting to reference the image while backing. If this warning is not heeded, backing without verifying it is safe to do so could lead to an increased risk of injury to people outside the vehicle.
The condition above fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 S6.2.6, which requires that the rear visibility system default to the rearview image being visible, and meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 111 S6.2.1 (field of view) and S6.2.2 (image size) at the beginning of each backing event, regardless of any modifications to the field of view that the driver had previously selected. Suspect vehicles may not display the rear view image during a backing event.
Repair
Update radio software then perform Proxi Configuration Alignment.
