What happened

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2018-2020 BMW, Rolls-Royce, and Toyota Supra vehicles because the back-up camera display can be adjusted so that the rear view image is no longer visible, and this setting will remain in effect the next time the vehicle is put in reverse. This lack of an image increases the risk of a crash when backing up.

BMW will notify owners of affected vehicles, and BMW dealers will update the back-up camera software at no charge. The recall began November 8, 2019. Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, Rolls-Royce customer service at 1-877-877-3735, or Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 to have the software update performed.
