General Motors Recalls over 270,000 Cars in US over Rearview Camera Issue

Dealers will replace rearview cameras free of charge after GM said the defect can leave 271,770 Malibu drivers with a blank or distorted image.

  • On Tuesday, General Motors announced a safety recall of 271,770 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles across the United States due to potential rearview camera malfunctions.
  • Investigations by the automaker found Sharp Electronics camera housing bonds may fail, allowing moisture to breach the unit, causing "the rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image."
  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration noted the defect impedes rear visibility and increases crash risk, yet General Motors confirmed no crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue.
  • Authorized dealerships will provide complimentary camera replacements for affected vehicles, and owner notification letters are anticipated to begin mailing on May 18.
  • Despite the recall announcement, General Motors shares surged 2.91% during pre-market trading on Wednesday, as the company continues investing over $150 million into its Saginaw Metal Castings Operations.
