Distorted Backup? GM Recalls 270,000 Malibus
8 Apr
Summary
- Over 270,000 Chevrolet Malibus recalled in the U.S.
- Rearview camera screen may show distorted or blank image.
- Dealers will replace the rearview camera free of charge.
General Motors has initiated a recall affecting more than 270,000 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2025 in the United States. The recall addresses a defect where the rearview camera screen might present a distorted or entirely blank image to the driver. This malfunction significantly compromises the driver's visibility of the area behind the vehicle, thereby elevating the potential for accidents.
The issue stems from a problem identified by GM's supplier concerning the camera housing assembly process. Weakened adhesive bonds could expose the camera to moisture, leading to image display failures. GM has stated that no crashes or injuries have been reported in connection with this defect. Owners of affected vehicles will have their rearview cameras replaced at no cost by authorized dealers, with owner notification letters scheduled to be sent out starting May 18.
