What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2019-2021 CLA-Class, GLE/GLS-Class, A-Class, E-Class, E-Class Coupe and Convertible, GLA/GLB-Class, GLC-Class, CLS-Class, and AMG GT-Class 4-door Coupe vehicles. The MBUX multimedia system software may cause the backup camera display to show a blank image or reboot after startup, which prevents the rearview camera image from displaying properly. This reduces the driver's rear view and increases the risk of a crash or injury.

To remedy this issue, dealers will update the multimedia system software free of charge, or owners may receive an over-the-air (OTA) update. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning June 28, 2021. Affected owners should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6373 and reference recall number 2021050012 to arrange for the software update.
